86: AI Coaching: A Deep Dive

Show Notes:
In this provocative episode, Simon and Lauri dive into the
disruptive potential of AI to reshape coaching as we know it.
They challenge traditional coaching paradigms, exploring how
systemic coaching can integrate with AI to amplify impact. The
conversation takes a sharp turn into ethics, questioning the
accountability of AI designers and the values underpinning these
technologies.

Simon and Lauri explore the triad of AI, human coaches and
clients, and how they might work together to co-create powerful
organisational outcomes. As they unpack these relationships, they
reveal new ways of thinking about human-AI collaboration.

Lauri also brings his reflective lens to the bigger picture: what
does it mean to live a good life and build a good society in the
age of rapid technological change? This episode inspires a fresh
take on adaptability, co-creation, and the need for conscious
design in an ever-shifting world.
