Staying Human with AI: A Practical Workshop for Business Leaders with Jayson Manship

Jayson Manship, founder of Generation Moonshot and host of the Authentic and Agentic podcast on the IBJ Media Podcast Network, leads a hands-on workshop for Indianapolis-area business leaders on using artificial intelligence practically and responsibly. Manship draws on his background in national politics, digital marketing and entrepreneurship to walk attendees through real-world AI tools including Claude, ChatGPT, Replit and Cursor. He demonstrates how to build custom business applications, automate daily workflows and use AI agents to handle tasks ranging from financial transaction tracking to email management, all with minimal technical experience. The session also tackles the harder questions: job displacement, data privacy, AI ethics and what it means to stay human as these tools grow more powerful. Manship references the Notre Dame Institute for Ethics and the Common Good's Delta framework as a guide for thinking through AI's impact on dignity, relationships and human agency. It was hosted by Citizen 7 at Polk Stables in Indianapolis, and Jayson is introduced by Greg Enas.
