Want to thrive in the age of AI?
Say hello to Janneke and Orange Gate Labs.
AI is for everyone.
But I know it doesn’t always feel that way. That’s why I created Orange Gate Labs, as a safe space to learn about Artificial Intelligence, its possibilities and pitfalls, and how to use AI to thrive in the digital age.
Janneke On AI
I know, I know. These are a little old but they’re still a great way to learn more about me and my perspective on AI and other emerging tech changing how we work, live and age.
I’ll be posting new soon. Promise.
(PS: I have a history with robots, which is a big part of my fascination with AI:)
Listen to the Podcast.
During the pandemic I was curious about how people were managing the transition from in-person (bricks & mortar) businesses to digital (bytes) businesses. So I started a podcast of my interviews with real people who did (or were doing) just that. Their stories are inspiring, surprising and so real. This is where I learned how powerful the stories of the Messy Realities of going digital really are.
You can find the whole bricksTObytes series on iTunes and Spotify. A few of my favourites to get you started:
While you’re in the listening mood, here’s my take on learning in the Digital Age with Jethro Jones from the Transformative Principal:
Innovation Highlights
As a designer and digital transformation expert I love to innovate with modern technologies. My philosophy is based on radical collaboration, creativity, and compassion to empower people to use modern technologies to live fuller, better, more successful lives…and be better humans.
HestaHub.
Showcased at Collision 2019, HestaHub was about envisioning how the home could be an interactive part of the social ecosystem to support aging in place. I’m absolutely not done with trying to design ways to support independent adults aging in place, so of you’re working on this kind of project, please reach out to talk about how I can help.
Saffi.
Our commitment to helping people adopt new technologies led us to create Saffi, concept Social Media Correspondent. Always ‘photo-ready’, Saffi was about enabling a positive first-touch experience with robots in the wild.
Elly.
Bank of Montreal wanted to make a statement at Elevate. So we created a robot talent scout co-worker to generate buzz and drive interested tech talent to the BMO table.
Messy Realities
Going digital is full of challenges, surprises and silver linings. These stories will make you smile, you are not alone in your struggles with technology.
I’m 5 weeks into my Quest to Conquer Instagram, thought I'd share some lessons learned so far…
