Prediction, Ambiguity, and the Limits of Machines
Notes from AI Literacy Salon #1 – March 26, 2026
Most conversations about AI start with what it can do. This one started with what it actually is.
At the first AI Literacy Salon, hosted by In Process Coaching and joined by guests Noa Dolberg (Google’s Material Design), Cherae Robinson (Head of Platform, Flybridge), and Sam Spurlin (Founder, Deliberate Works), we spent an evening thinking together about a question that doesn’t get asked enough: when does AI help, and when does it just look like it’s helping?
The salon was built for creative professionals – not because they need to become technologists, but because AI is reshaping the terrain they walk on. The goal wasn’t to teach prompts or tools. It was to build a way of thinking about what AI does well, where it falls apart, and why that distinction matters for anyone doing creative work.
