On BizBlend, host Sana digs into steady leadership in a fast-moving AI world with entrepreneur and technologist Stephanie Sylvestre. From defining “human in the loop” to using small language models layered over LLMs and digital twins to preserve Black legacy, Stephanie breaks down practical guardrails leaders can use now: curate data, set clear value systems, design for consent and context, and prioritize outcomes over optics. We also get blunt career advice for underrepresented youth—projects over certificates, networking over mass applications—and a simple, budget-friendly first step for small museums and community orgs to start responsibly with AI.
About the Guest:
Stephanie Sylvestre is a founder and operator working at the intersection of AI, culture, and leadership. Her work includes building AI agents, developing small language model layers for safer, value-aligned outputs, and creating digital twins to preserve Black history.
Key Takeaways :


Steady leadership is human: create psychological safety, own the failures, celebrate the wins, and clear blockers so teams can rise.


Bias needs structure, not slogans: place a small language model (curated, values-aligned data) on top of an LLM and instruct it to “win” when there’s conflict.


Preserving legacy with AI: build digital twins from a person’s lived work—writings, achievements, voice—so the output reflects that individual’s worldview with consent and context.


Craft before scale: curate sources, define guardrails, and document assumptions; treat innovation as stewardship, not just throughput.


First step for small orgs: use a paid AI tool to create simple, internal agents for research or writing flows—start tiny, keep humans in the loop.


Skills that move the needle: hands-on projects beat stacks of certificates; show working agents, explain choices, iterate from real-world use.


Networking over numbers: targeted outreach and genuine relationships outperform sending 1,000 generic resumes.


Deal-killers to avoid: change resistance and “replace people with AI.” Design systems that augment people; don’t erase them.
