Human-Centered AI, Trust & Doing Tech for Good : Insights with Helena Yu | Data Wars EP - 14
<p>What does it look like to build AI that’s not just powerful—but human? And how do you turn a non-linear life journey into a blueprint others can “fork” and build on?</p><p><br></p><p>In this kickoff episode of Data Wars, we sit down with Helena (Qiaoshan) Yu, Data & AI leader at EnStream, to unpack the intersection of AI adoption, digital trust, social impact, and community-led change. Helena shares her path from filmmaking dreams to math and business, how a life-altering accident reshaped her worldview, and why she believes data + story + technology must work together to create meaningful outcomes.</p><p><br></p><p>We also dive into what it takes to deploy AI responsibly in regulated environments, how bias shows up both in systems and workplaces, and why the future of AI must include the people most affected as co-designers—not just end users. The conversation culminates in a powerful framing: live an “open-source life”—so others can learn from it, remix it, and create something even better.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, we cover:</p><p>1. Helena’s non-linear journey: film, psychology, math/business, and purpose-driven AI leadership</p><p>2. The pivotal moment: Microsoft’s AI for Good and “data as a tool for social impact”</p><p>3. Balancing innovation with trust in banks/insurance: privacy minimization, fairness, and human-centered design</p><p>4. Ethical AI in practice: discrimination risk, uneven model performance across groups, and responsible feature engineering</p><p>5. Microaggressions, systemic bias, and the role of allies—especially for women and people of color in tech</p><p>6. Mentorship lessons: start with the “why,” build your support squad, and stop weaponizing perfectionism</p><p>7. Climate Resilient Communities: why “parachuting in” doesn’t work—and what community-led data storytelling looks like</p><p>8. The future of AI: redistributing power through community-led governance and inclusive decision-making</p><p>9. Helena’s core message: your differences aren’t obstacles—they’re unique advantages</p><p><br></p><p>Connect with Helena:</p><p> Website: helena-yu.ca</p><p> LinkedIn: Search Qiaoshan (Helena) Yu</p><p><br></p><p>🎧 Watch/Listen Now:</p><p>▶️ YouTube: https://youtu.be/NKdQX0bQzdI</p><p>🎵 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2UyTNRfxA8BQHbLV8t2kRF?si=c_ZSbUHHQe6HvF8FDBemIA</p><p>🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/human-centered-ai-trust-doing-tech-for-good-insights/id1782784746?i=1000749098820</p>
