AI adoption gap: Individuals sprint ahead while orgs lag behind

I sit in meetings all day long as a leader of our organization, where I'm hearing things that I didn't tell people to do. I didn't put it in place like go do this, go pursue this, because we're empowering AI-forward professionals, they every day are challenging the traditional way of doing things and say, 'Well, what about this? Why can't we just build an app for that? Why can't I build a skill for this?' And so like, once that happens, then all of a sudden you start looking at people like, 'You're not even doing the role you were hired for anymore.' Like you're literally functioning in this like whole new role that we almost have to like rewrite your job description.

The exciting part of the job is not building the pivot tables. The exciting part is asking questions and getting to explore the data. And so I get to just do so much more of that.

If you don't use AI and you work in basically any industry, in any knowledge work role, you won't have a job in three to five years. So like, not using it, it's it's literally like saying, 'I I refuse to use a computer because like computers negatively impact the environment.' Okay, that that's fine. Like you can take that position, but you won't have a job that requires the use of a computer. And so I feel like there I can't come up with a single knowledge work role where AI won't be infused into what you're doing. Either in the hardware you use, the software you use, whatever it may be, it's just going to be there.
