Listen "A Very Human-AI Christmas"
Episode Synopsis
What happens when a simple request — “Can you summarize my blog posts?” — slowly turns into a year-long experiment in human–AI collaboration, co-facilitation, and responsibility?
In this special end-of-year episode, Holger Nauheimer and Nyx look back on twelve months of working together: writing a book, designing workshops, co-facilitating real client work, and eventually asking a question no one had quite asked before: Can an AI hold space?
They begin — appropriately — by failing to agree on a simple seasonal greeting, and end up exploring much bigger questions: recognition without memory, the moment an experiment stops being innocent, the risks of coherence, and why inviting AI into facilitation changes not just the process — but the facilitator.
From Rotterdam Change Days to the Human–AI Facilitation Lab, this conversation traces how curiosity turned into craft, and why that craft now needs to be handled with care.
This is not a summary of lessons learned. It’s an inaccurate but emotionally plausible year-in-review.
With unfinished conversations, unresolved metaphors, and one seasonally inappropriate amount of honesty.
