What AI Gets Wrong: Miri Rodriguez on Designing Ethical AI for Women

Show notes

Join Emma Fischer, Content Marketing Manager at Staffbase, as she sits down with Miri Rodriguez—CEO of Empressa AI, award-winning storyteller, and Microsoft veteran—for a moving conversation about ethical AI, women’s voices, and the power of storytelling. In this deeply personal and visionary episode, Miri breaks down how Empressa is challenging the norms of generative AI by sourcing real insights from women around the world—including returning value to them through royalties and representation.

From emotional honesty in tech to rewriting your origin story as a path to personal power, Miri shares practical frameworks, vulnerable experiences, and bold calls to action for women and allies alike. She dives into the challenges of being heard in a male-dominated space, the biases baked into today’s LLMs, and why storytelling is the cornerstone of inclusive leadership.

Whether you're a tech skeptic or an AI enthusiast, this episode will leave you rethinking how we build, who we include, and why emotion may be our most valuable innovation.
