AOL finally shut down its dial-up service—but the real story? Many companies are still treating AI like it’s 1999. In this episode, the team explores what it takes to move from experimentation to transformation in the age of ambient AI.
Knownwell CMO Courtney Baker, CEO David DeWolf, and Chief Product & Technology Officer Mohan Rao dive into the biggest challenge facing leaders today: AI isn’t just a tool—it’s becoming the environment we work in. So why are so many organizations still “sneaking downstairs” to test it in isolation?
Then, Pete Buer speaks with philosopher Dr. Pia Lauritzen. She explains that the real existential risk of AI is not extinction, but losing what makes us human. She argues that blindly optimizing for speed and output might cost us the deeper questions that drive true progress.
All of that PLUS Pete has another edition of AI in the Wild. This week, he breaks down the latest MIT report on AI’s impact on jobs: most displacement is happening in offshore and outsourced roles—for now. Plus, only a sliver of AI investments are delivering ROI, and that’s mostly through efficiency, not innovation.
If you're still piloting AI in a silo, this episode is your wake-up call.
