Season 2 Ep 20: Keeping the “Bad AI” Out feat. Dr. Cari Miller

Episode Description

RELEASED November 25, 2025

In most organizations, no one person knows everything there is to know about AI. That means everything related to its selection, implementation, use, and impact has to be managed in a team setting. This creates an opportunity for procurement to keep the business focused on their core objectives, and to properly and thoroughly evaluate every new piece of technology.

In this episode of the #LoveProcurement podcast host Vishal Patel welcomes Dr. Cari Miller to the show. Dr. Miller is the Executive Director of the AI Procurement Lab, an organization with a mission to create, share, and promote best-in-class AI procurement practices, frameworks, guides, and tools.

During the conversation, Dr. Miller and Vishal talk about:

How to tell the difference between “bad AI” and “responsible AI”
How AI plays into overall digital transformation projects, and therefore the relationship between procurement and IT
Forward looking trends she is seeing related to public v. private sector procurement and the cost of audits
