AInspirations fam - you’ve made it to Issue #10! 😱

In a recent podcast, Mustafa Suleyman, Microsoft AI’s CEO claims that Artificial intelligence is a “new digital species”. He believed that by 2025, AI will be able to improve itself, remember everything about you, and display emotional intelligence.

Experts believe his words are not just speculations, but a roadmap of what is to come. What do you think?

Buzzfeed recently posted (and quickly deleted) an article showing what AI thinks Barbies from around the world look like. Spoiler: the results were a disaster—colorism, racism, and zero points for inclusivity.

Here’s the deal: AI tools like MidJourney, Stable Diffusion, and DALL-E might be groundbreaking, but when it comes to representation? They’re still playing catch-up.

As these tools go mainstream, we’ve got to stay vigilant. This isn’t just about improving the tech—it’s about demanding that the images they create actually represent the real, diverse world we live in. Because if we don’t call out the biases, who will?

This video was inspired by an LIS undergraduate student’s end of first year project, ‘Beyond the Hype: Understanding Bias in AI and its Far-Reaching Consequences’ by Ana Howard.

Tool of the week: ENGAGE AI

1/ Why did you create Engage AI, and what problem does it solve?

I built Engage AI because I’m like a lot of tech-minded people-turned-business owners. We know we need a personal brand, but social media doesn’t come naturally, and honestly? It feels a bit showy. Instead of jumping into the spotlight shouting, “Look at me!” or cold DM-ing people in already stuffed inboxes, we take a smarter route. Engage AI helps us start real, 1-on-1 connections—building relationships by showing up when others post and engaging authentically.

2/ What are some of the unique features of Engage AI?

With Engage AI, you’re using AI to make powerful connections without endless scrolling. Picture this: you set your tone, give it context, and let it create spot-on, relevant comments. Engage AI even tracks when your target audience posts, so you can be first to engage and stay on their radar. Now, your focus is on high-impact interactions with the right people, not the clutter.

3/ What can we expect to see from Engage AI in the next 12 months?

Here’s what’s coming: instead of canned messages, Engage AI will help you kickstart real conversations in the DMs that actually get responses. You can also use Engage AI to search and retrieve information about your target clients, and leverage the insights to prepare for a personalised conversation before any sales meeting with your prospects.
