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.
