Asemio Decoded Asemio

Jess and Aaron are back for Season 3 with a fresh lineup of social service experts, passionate good-doers, and humanitarian champions to talk social impact, data, technology, and how these forces come together to improve our impact on our communities. Welcome back to Asemio Decoded!
This month, we bring you a conversation with Dr. Laura Latta of the Tulsa Higher Education Consortium (THEC). THEC is committed to advancing student learning, improving student success and degree completion, achieving equity in outcomes, and meeting workforce needs by working collaboratively to increase higher education opportunities in the region. The Consortium brings together higher education institutions across Oklahoma to establish and work towards common goals that better the education process for students.
Laura joined us to talk about the work happening at the Consortium, her journey across multiple roles in the education space, and how leading this unique organization has been the dream job she didn't know she wanted. Learn about the critical role that data and information play in the day-to-day at THEC and its member institutions, how collaboration helps administrators to challenge the status quo, and how language in the "helping field" is ever-evolving as we continue to learn and change.
Tune in monthly for more fascinating and relevant conversations with some of the country's leading experts in social impact work.

Hey y'all!
We're back from our hiatus a little early to share a very cool project that a local composer (and friend of the pod) is performing Saturday, March 9th, at Low Down in Tulsa, Oklahoma. "Music for the Senses" starts at 8:00 pm and is 21+ with valid ID. Tickets are at the links below.
Composer David Broome and Asemio co-founder Aaron Bean have been working on a musical performance that blends traditional music with machine learning (AI) software. The performance uniquely layers live instrumentalists, vocals, electronic music, American Sign Language (ASL), and the same generative AI that powers ChatGPT.
Join our co-host, Jess, in a conversation with Aaron and Dave, two technologists pushing the boundaries of AI's place in creative processes, live performance, and music. Attend their March 9th performance for a truly unique and cutting-edge experience, and say hi to Aaron while you're there!

If you don’t know what CQI is, you want to. 
Processes, frameworks, systems… these are the things that make our modern world go round. Yet too easily they can become stagnant, unresponsive to changes in the world around them, and out of touch. How do we put processes in place and simultaneously create environments that are constantly learning and improving upon them? How can we apply these principles of continuous improvement not just to our work, but our every day lives?
Join Aaron and Jess as they chat with Lauren King, M.A. of Impact Tulsa for the fifth and final episode of Asemio Decoded Season 2. Lauren is the Director of Learning & Activation at Impact Tulsa where she serves as a coach, trainer and facilitator to support partners in building capacity to disrupt inequities through systemic change. Learn how she uses CQI in her work, and how pillars of data architecture building and quality improvement are being used in more than just code.
That's a wrap on Season 2! We'll be back with more awesome guests and fascinating topics in 2024. Happy holidays and cheers to the new year!

BLOCKCHAIN! …And generative AI? These topics keep being brought up together, associated, compared as similar revolutionary technologies, and Aaron has had enough! We’re throwing our hat into the ring to break down what blockchain is, how it compares to generative AI, and where we think the real value lies for these technologies and their ability to make the world a better place. 
“As a technologist, I’m always in search of the best value proposition.” Explains Aaron as he puts on his engineering hat to help us understand the complexities behind some of the biggest buzzwords in tech. 
Join Jess in asking Aaron… What the heck actually is blockchain, where did it come from, what is all the hype about, and how does it actually impact peoples’ lives? Where does generative AI come into this conversation, and should we even be talking about these things in the same breath? 

All of the super-dense studies and articles we talk about are below if you want the information straight from the horse’s mouth.
