BABL AI Founder and CEO Dr. Shea Brown was recently featured on Podcasts 4 Brainport, a program produced by Radio 4 Brainport (747AM and DAB+), spotlighting innovators and thought leaders from the Eindhoven TopTech region and beyond.
In this compelling episode, host Iman Mossavat engages Dr. Brown in a wide-ranging conversation about the evolving challenges of AI accountability, the silent failures of machine learning systems, and the growing need for robust oversight mechanisms. Drawing from his background in cosmology and data science, Dr. Brown explains how the same critical thinking used to study the universe now informs his approach to interrogating the integrity of AI systems.
The episode offers listeners a real-world introduction to AI audits and assurance, breaking down the tools and strategies BABL AI uses to uncover risks in high-impact systems—especially in sectors like insurance, hiring, and healthcare. Dr. Brown emphasizes that AI systems often operate without transparent accountability, and risk-based auditing is essential to surfacing hidden harms before they affect real people.
In a segment on education, Mossavat and Brown discuss the need to train the next generation of AI developers not just to build AI, but to question, stress-test, and regulate it. They reflect on the importance of creating a culture of responsibility where governance, compliance, and innovation work together—not at odds.
The episode stands out for its grounded insight and timely relevance, especially as AI legislation and ethical scrutiny intensify across Europe, North America, and Asia.
