Coexistence: Humans & AI in the Workplace

Episode 8: From Fear to Care—Reframing the Dangers of AI

Zohra Damani, Latif Hamlani

In this episode of Coexistence: Humans and AI in the Workplace, we, Dr. Z and Latif, challenge the traditional fear-driven narrative around artificial intelligence. Instead of asking “What if AI becomes smarter than us?”, they explore a more vital question: “How do we design AI that truly cares for us?”

The conversation introduces the concept of maternal intelligence—the intuitive, protective, and nurturing wisdom often embodied by parents, especially mothers. They discuss why caregivers should have a seat at the AI design table, bringing perspectives that balance care with foresight and love with discipline.

Key themes include:

  • Why fear-based narratives limit innovation in AI.
  • How maternal intelligence offers a blueprint for building compassionate technology.
  • The role of spiritual leadership in ensuring AI aligns with human values.
  • Practical ways leaders can embed empathy, authenticity, and intentionality into AI governance.

Listen in and reflect: Who do you believe should have a voice in shaping the future of AI?
