EPISODE DESCRIPTION

In this episode of The AI Governance Briefing, Dr. Tuboise Floyd examines the cognitive and ethical implications of Touchless Beginnings — the moment we handed the spark of life to an algorithm.

First, we automated the factory. Now, we are automating the womb.

A robot has successfully performed the delicate act of fertilization for IVF. When we remove the human hand from the most fundamental human journey, what happens to the bond? This is a critical look at the intersection of biology and the machine age.

ABOUT THE HOST

──────────────────────────────────────

Dr. Tuboise Floyd is the Founder and Chief Sensemaking Officer of Human Signal — an independent AI governance research and media platform based in Washington, DC. He is the Editor in Chief of The AI Governance Record, Host of The AI Governance Briefing, and a TAIMScore™ Certified Assessor (HISPI, March 2026).

A PhD social scientist (Auburn University, Adult Education / Systems Theory), Dr. Floyd reverse-engineers institutional AI failures and builds governance frameworks that operators can actually use. His canonical thesis: most institutions will not fail because of a bad AI model. They will fail because of a broken governance structure around it.

Independence is not a feature. It is the product.
