Work and the Future Episode 136: Who Should be Leading the Implementation of AI Within Organizations?

In this episode of Work and the Future, economist and keynote speaker Linda Nazareth talks to Mike Sullivan, Chief Growth Offficer and Co-Founder of OneDigital and also the co-author of the book Workforce Intelligence.

They discuss:

  • How small and medium-size organizations are starting to implement AI but are not doing it in a strategic way
  • Why age is not the determinant of who will succeed in the age of AI but mindset might be
  • Why most jobs will not be eliminated by AI even though job functions might totally change
  • Why Human Resources departments need to be playing a much bigger role in implementing AI in organizations.
