AI and the Tuners is a thought leadership podcast hosted by Dr. Rochelle Newton that explores the evolving relationship between human judgment and artificial intelligence.
As organizations adopt AI to optimize systems, decisions, and productivity, critical human knowledge is often left unrecognized or undervalued. This podcast introduces the concept of the AI Tuner. A role focused on stewarding how artificial intelligence interacts with people, decisions, and institutions.
Drawing on decades of experience in technology, higher education, and institutional leadership, Dr. Newton examines the pivot many professionals are facing as work is redesigned around algorithms. The conversations center on institutional wisdom, contextual judgment, and the skills that cannot be reduced to data patterns alone.
AI and the Tuners is not about competing with technology. It is about articulating the human expertise that makes responsible and effective use of artificial intelligence possible.
