This month on the Future in Sound, Jaxson Khan- former senior policy advisor to Canada's Minister of Innovation, Science, and Industry- explores the evolving role of AI in business. With a background in accessibility, AI policy, safety, innovation, and ethical frameworks, few people are better placed to help us think through the connections between tech and society. Jenn and Jaxson discuss the delicate balance between innovation and caution when it comes to AI. How do companies manage the risks of AI whilst also pursuing the opportunities it offers? Jaxson highlights the potential for AI both to enhance accessibility and to create new barriers if not implemented thoughtfully. They also tackle global approaches to AI policy—from the flexible frameworks seen in the U.S. to the more structured EU AI Act—emphasising the need for practical, citizen-focused regulations that build public trust.Useful links:Book: Prediction Machines by AJ Agrawal, Joshua Gans, and Avi GoldfarbClick here for the episode web page.For more insights straight to your inbox subscribe to the Future in Sight newsletter, and follow us on LinkedIn and Instagram This podcast is brought to you by Re:Co, a tech-powered advisory company helping private market investors pursue sustainability objectives and value creation in tandem. Produced by Chris AttawayArtwork by Harriet RichardsonMusic by Cody Martin
