Podcast: Julia Zhou — Responsible AI Starts With People, Not Technology

We’re joined by Julia Zhou, Co-Founder and CTO of SAAFE.ai, a veteran technology leader with decades of experience as CIO, CTO, and Head of Product across complex healthcare organizations, including HCM, CINQCARE, CBH, and Molina Healthcare. Julia shares how responsible AI, trust, and culture intersect in healthcare and hiring, and why safety-first thinking matters as AI reshapes how teams are built and led. Oz and Julia explore the art of ethical AI in practice, what top founders in the Bay Area are prioritizing today, and how leaders can hire for curiosity, resilience, and cultural alignment in an increasingly automated world.
