We’ve spent $309 billion training AI. Only $11 billion training people to work with it.
I joined Julie Williamson, PhD on The Failure Gap podcast to dig into what happens when leaders agree they need to move on AI but can’t get aligned on how. Perfect for background listening (links in comments) this weekend while you’re doing meal prep or putting up your Halloween display (We got that done yesterday. 🎃)
The conversation balances the why behind AI transformation with real steps to take action. We covered everything from why legal at Moderna was one of the first teams to hit 100% AI adoption to how naming your AI teammates can change how teams engage.
Here’s what you’ll walk away with:
➡︎ Three critical mindset shifts that move teams from AI as a tool to AI as a teammate
➡︎ How to protect confidential information while still getting started with AI
➡︎ Why using multiple AI platforms makes your thinking stronger and reduces hallucinations
➡︎ Real techniques for pressure-testing your strategies using AI from different perspectives
➡︎ Why AI literacy is foundational regardless of your title or technical background
Thanks to Julie and the Karrikins Group for creating space for this kind of conversation. Their focus on closing the gap between agreement and alignment is exactly where most organizations get stuck with AI adoption. And thank you Kerrie Luginbill for thinking about me and introducing me to Julie.
The most expensive infrastructure purchase is the one people can’t use well. This conversation gives you a path forward.
