How to supervise AI: Practical strategies for managing LLMs

"You can't map AI onto a broken workflow and expect it to fix itself. Fix the workflow first.” Ami Maceira-Lopez, Founder, Everyday Future
Ned Hayes welcomes Ami Maceira-Lopez, founder of Everyday Future and author of "Supervising AI: Practical Skills for Managing AI in the Modern Workplace," to this episode of #DAREwithDarwoft. After a decade managing publicly funded workforce programs in Oregon, Ami turned her experience guiding non technical workers through pandemic era disruption into a practice that now helps small and mid sized businesses supervise AI responsibly, without losing sight of the people doing the work.
The conversation moves through the concept of Task Technology Fit, the digital literacy gaps hiding inside otherwise capable teams, and why writing a practical book felt more useful than another theoretical framework.
Why understanding the goal matters more than choosing a model
How hallucinations and rework create a "perfect storm" for teams under pressure
What it means to manage AI ethically, and why that starts with your people
If you're leading a team through AI adoption and feeling the pressure to move faster than your people are ready for, this episode can have most of your answers.
