🔥 Episode Title:  Trustworthy AI: Leadership Lessons from the Frontlines of AI Safety
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming business, cybersecurity, government, defense, and society itself.

Sarah specializes in identifying hidden weaknesses in AI systems — especially under ambiguous, adversarial, and high-risk conditions where outputs may appear correct on the surface while failing underneath.
Her work includes:✨ AI red teaming and adversarial prompting  ✨ Alignment evaluation and dataset integrity analysis  ✨ Detecting meaning-level failures and systemic risk patterns  ✨ Identifying how AI systems drift, misclassify, or break under pressure  ✨ Strengthening trustworthy AI systems for the future
This conversation is bigger than technology.
It’s about:⚓ Leadership under ambiguity  ⚓ Responsible innovation  ⚓ Trust in intelligent systems  ⚓ Cybersecurity and AI risk  ⚓ Ethical stewardship in the age of AI

…this episode is for you.
🎯 What You Will Learn:✨ What AI safety researchers actually do behind the scenes  ✨ The hidden risks most organizations still underestimate about AI  ✨ How adversarial prompting and jailbreak testing work  ✨ Why “trustworthy AI” is becoming a leadership responsibility  ✨ What leaders must understand about AI alignment and systemic risk  ✨ How systems thinking applies to cybersecurity, AI, and leadership  ✨ Why the future of AI depends on understanding failure

MAJ Hart returns to discuss his powerful Di$cipleship book series:

This conversation is NOT just about money.
