  • AIgility & The Augmented Workplace
    May 7 2024

    Today, we explore the question: “Will AI seriously affect the future of jobs?”. Spoiler alert… the answer is yes.

    AI is revolutionizing the workplace, which means now more than ever, it’s imperative that we as leaders develop Aigility. Aigility is more than a new buzzword; it's a philosophy that guides how we adapt to the ever-changing technological landscape. It's about deconstructing traditional roles within organizations to enhance productivity and relevance in an evolving workplace.

    In this episode, I sit down with Marti Konstant, the inventor of the term Aigility, to unpack the intricate ways AI is not just changing what we do at work, but also how we do it.

    We discuss the concept of agility in the workplace and how AI is a driving force behind this shift, forcing individuals and organizations to adapt quickly to change. Marti sheds light on the "shadow effect of AI," highlighting its subtle yet profound impact on job capabilities and the structure of workforces. We also draw parallels between the rise of generative AI and the influential Parisian salon movement, suggesting that AI can be a catalyst for creativity and innovation.

    Join our conversation to learn more about:

    • The transformative role of AI in the workplace and its impact on job capabilities.
    • The concept of agility in organizations and how AI fosters this adaptable mindset.
    • The "shadow effect of AI" and its under-the-radar influence on workforce transformation.
    • The potential of generative AI as a partner in creativity and productivity.
    • Historical parallels with the Parisian salon movement and lessons for modern-day innovation.

    This episode is packed with insights for CEOs and forward-thinking professionals who are looking to leverage AI for strategic advantage and to cultivate a more dynamic and capable workforce.

  • The Evolution of Intelligence
    Apr 30 2024

    Looking for a glimpse into the future of human intelligence?

    In this fascinating episode of the Next Insights Podcast, I dive deep into the evolution of intelligence with none other than Dr. Mark van Rijmenam, a strategic futurist, known as The Digital Speaker. Our conversation is a journey through the landscape of human and artificial intelligence, exploring the intricate dance between innovation and ethics.

    Dr. van Rijmenam, with his profound knowledge on big data, blockchain, and AI, shares invaluable insights and his perspective on the expansion of sociomateriality theory to encompass AI. We tackle the concept of optimistic dystopianism, drawing inspiration from Nick Bostrom's work on superintelligence, and discuss the critical balance between the promise and perils of AI.

    Tune in to hear more about:

    • The expansion of sociomateriality theory to integrate AI and its implications.
    • Optimistic dystopianism and the potential futures of superintelligence.
    • The tension between innovation and ethics in the development of AI.
    • Practical applications of AI and its transformative impact on industries and the future of work.
    • The importance of ethical considerations and collaborative approaches in shaping a future where AI augments human capabilities.

    My dialogue with Mark underscores the importance of steering the course of AI development with a thoughtful and ethical compass. It's not just about the technology; it's about how we, as a society, choose to integrate and leverage it to enhance our collective intelligence and well-being.

  • Co-Intelligence with Pi
    Apr 23 2024

    Are you ready to reimagine your partnership with technology?

    In this episode of the Next Insights Podcast, I'm running an experiment to uncover what it's like to develop co-intelligence with AI. Together with Pi, an articulate AI companion, we dove into the heart of Ethan Mollick’s book, "Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI".

    My conversation with Pi showcases the transformative role AI can play when CEOs and progressive leaders view it as a collaborative partner, not merely a tool. During the episode, Pi and I unpacked the four cornerstones of Mollick’s book, Co-Intelligence, highlighting the importance of human direction, the advantages of giving AI a persona for enriched interaction, and the practical steps for embracing and preparing for AI's limitations.

    Listen in on our dialogue to learn more about the changing dynamics of AI in the business world including:

    • The synergistic bond between AI and human intellect in the professional environment.
    • The four foundational principles of co-intelligence: human guidance, AI personas, acceptance of imperfections, and strategic AI integration.
    • The pivotal role of business leaders in embracing AI as a cooperative partner.
    • The influence of AI on improving strategic decisions and fostering progress.

    This episode is a testament to my own journey of co-intelligence with Pi, showcasing the extraordinary potential that lies in human-AI collaboration. It's an invitation to leaders and innovators to not just join the AI movement, but to steer it by creating a co-intelligent space where humans and AI pave the way for groundbreaking innovation and efficiency.
