AI is already showing up in our children’s classrooms, homework, entertainment, friendships and online lives. The question is no longer whether they will use it. The question is whether families will learn how to navigate it together.

In this episode of Product for Humans, Christa Hill sits down with author, coach and facilitator Lulu Ibude for a practical and deeply human conversation about parenting in the age of AI.

They explore how parents can move from policing technology to leading their children through it, even when their kids appear to understand the tools better than they do. Lulu shares how family values, culture, trust and open communication can shape the boundaries we create around AI.

Christa and Lulu also discuss privacy, ethics, deepfakes, misinformation, screen time, difficult conversations and the importance of helping children become thoughtful creators rather than passive consumers.

You do not need to be a technology expert to begin. You need curiosity, a willingness to learn alongside your children and the confidence to lead your family according to your own values.

In this episode of the Beyond Technology Podcast, Shawn Freeman sits down with Christa Hill, CEO of Tacit Edge, to talk about what happens when everyday people start building with AI instead of just talking about it. From sales teams in Alberta's industrial companies to chamber of commerce leaders, Christa is watching non-technical people build real automations every week, and she has strong opinions about what keeps everyone else on the sidelines.

Christa shares the story of a student who built a system that scrapes competitor pricing overnight and delivers a punchy voice memo to the whole sales team every morning. She breaks down the most chronic mistake she sees in startups: spending $150,000 to learn what $15,000 could have taught you. And she explains why AI adoption has to start with leadership literacy, why safety right now is a moral compass and not a policy, and why our relationship to time has to change when a 20-day quote becomes a 20-second one.

As Christa puts it: your idea brought you into the arena, but your customers grow the arena for you. And it is way more fun to be rich than it is to be right.

What You'll Learn:

- Why "the try is the skill," and the skill-before-the-skill myth keeping people out of the game

- The overbuilding trap: why fear of looking unprepared craters more capital than anything else

- How to test whether a problem is a "jugular gusher" or a paper cut before you spend a dollar

- Why non-technical people can build real AI automations after a two-week vocabulary on-ramp

- How technical language has been used to gatekeep, and why that power is slipping away

- Why leaders need to become builders before they can set AI expectations for their teams

- Why AI safety today lives in your moral compass, not in policy or frameworks

- The daily tool stack Christa runs a global education company with as one person

In this episode of The Learn-It-All™ Podcast, Damon Lembi sits down with Christa Hill, Co-Founder of Tacit Edge and Learnit's Chief AI Learning Officer, to unpack why so many leaders, teams, and organizations are still using artificial intelligence at what Christa calls "brochure-level." Playing around with ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, or Gemini might feel like progress, but real AI literacy starts when you stop treating AI like a shortcut and start using it to rethink strategy, decision-making, team workflows, and business value.

Christa explains why most people are still operating at a grade three or four level of AI literacy, why productivity wins eventually cap out, and why leaders cannot keep approving AI tools they do not understand. She also breaks down one of the biggest mistakes companies are making right now: banning AI and accidentally pushing employees into risky "shadow AI" behavior. As Christa puts it, organizations do not have AI problems. They have very human problems surrounding the technology.

Because AI may have more IQ points than us, but it does not have our judgment, empathy, lived experience, or what Christa calls "your proprietary data set."

What You'll Learn:
What "brochure-level" AI use is, and why surface-level productivity hacks are not enough
Why Christa calls ChatGPT "Captain Confidence," and the final 30% only you can add
How to avoid wasting money on AI adoption by solving one or two business problems first
Why productivity wins cap out without connection to team goals and business strategy
How meeting transcripts and AI can surface trends, risks, and new opportunities
Why banning AI tools may be one of the riskiest moves a company can make
The true human advantage: your judgment, empathy, context, and proprietary data set
