About the show
Built for people who have to make AI decisions in the real world.
AI Change Desk is hosted by Michael Hanna-Butros Meyering and designed for leaders, managers, and operators who need practical guidance, not hype. Each release turns current AI developments into plain-language operating decisions, change-management actions, and clear next steps.

Name the next move
Close with a practical action block a real team can assign, test, and review.

AI assists parts of production; final editorial judgment and release accountability remain with Michael.

The operating details.
The full audience, sourcing, cadence, and production commitments are available here without turning the page into a long policy wall.
Audience promiseWho the Desk serves
- Executives who need a decision, an accountable owner, and a defensible risk posture.
- Managers translating platform change into workflow, communication, and adoption plans.
- Operators who need test steps, evidence, rollback paths, and clear escalation points.
Editorial boundaryWhat enters the record
- Official releases, standards, policy changes, and credible reporting with operating consequences.
- First-party sources are preferred; material claims use at least two credible sources when corroboration is needed.
- The Desk avoids unsupported hot takes, anonymous hype, and presenting speculation as settled fact.
Cadence + productionHow releases stay accountable
- A weekly main episode, with an additional brief or clearly disclosed guest when the signal warrants it.
- Research, scripting, voice, and packaging may use AI-assisted tools and documented automation.
- Source selection, risk posture, final editorial judgment, and release approval remain human-led.
- The site-wide AI disclosure explains how assisted work, synthetic media, and corrections are handled.
