All Too Human
We are building the future in real time. Artificial intelligence. Data centers. New technologies. New organizations. New ways of working, learning, governing, and living. And behind all of it are choices — choices about what we build, what we optimize, what we measure, and ultimately, what kind of world we want to create.
All Too Human is a podcast about choices. Hosted by Dr. Kala W. Hampton, All Too Human explores design at the intersection of technology, infrastructure, organizations, nature, and human life. From the physical systems powering the AI revolution to the invisible systems shaping our workplaces and communities, each episode looks beneath the surface of the things we build to ask a simple question:
What are we designing, and what is it doing to us? Because the future isn't something that simply happens to us. It's by design.
