“Taste in the AI era means being able to observe quality and recognise when it’s there, but also knowing how to create it when it’s not.”

Stephanie Moss loves efficiency 🙌🏼. As Head of Design and Research Operations at SEEK, she chews on organisational challenges of scale and speed to meet the best possible outcomes.

What’s counterintuitive is we can use AI to optimise all we want, but if we’re optimising toward mediocre outcomes, we’re just getting really good at being forgettable. Speed gained through AI without direction creates more bad work faster.

Humans bring the surgical precision and well-honed judgment to recognise what’s actually worth optimising for. More importantly, we must bring the ability to create quality when there’s a gap. And the market is waking up to this.

Outside work, Stephanie gardens with precision, paints with intention, watches horror movies for joy and adores her four cats (yes!) 🐱🐱🐱🐱 while making a home that’s uniquely hers. Care and efficiency, it turns out, make excellent partners.

Join Steph at Makers 12: Taste x AI: The Strategic Differentiator to discuss how operational excellence and creative taste can become your team’s strategic advantage.
