The Pope, the Overton Window and the Real Fight Over AI Ethics

Pope Leo's new encyclical on AI isn't going to write a single line of statute — but according to Fusion Collective CEO Yvette Schmitter, it just shifted the Overton window on AI ethics in a way regulators, boards and CEOs can no longer ignore. In this TechStrong.ai Leadership Insight Series interview, Yvette joins Mike Vizard to dig into the gap between what AI vendors say publicly and how they lobby behind closed doors, why ethics that lives only in legal isn't ethics, and the four moves any leader can make today: an honest absence audit, moving governance out of legal, building accountability checkpoints into the development workflow, and treating data — not just votes — as the currency that companies are quietly counting on you to give away. A clear-eyed conversation about responsibility, regulation, and what it means to act like you own your data in the age of AI.
In this conversation, Marcin and Alan cover:

• Why Pope Leo's AI encyclical shifts the Overton window even without legislation

• The growing gap between AI vendors' public stance and lobbying behavior

• Four practical moves every leader can make today on responsible AI

• Why ethics that only lives in legal isn't ethics

• The algorithm vs. the data — where bias actually comes from

• How to act like you own your data in the age of AI
