Just as learning to read once unlocked access to knowledge, opportunity and participation in society, AI literacy is rapidly becoming a baseline skill for the modern workplace. In this episode of Zurich North America’s Future of Risk podcast, host Justin Hicks explores how understanding and using AI is fast evolving from a niche capability to a core professional competency.

Jay Bell, Head of Innovation for Specialties and Head of Operations for Construction at Zurich, and Mark Breading, Senior Partner at ReSource Pro, share how AI is reshaping their daily work—from turning flip chart photos into meeting summaries in seconds to using AI-powered conversations to brainstorm complex ideas during a commute in the car. They argue that AI is not just a tool—it’s a collaborator, a co-creator and a force multiplier.

Whether you're just starting your AI journey or looking to deepen your expertise, this episode offers practical, real-world examples of how AI literacy can elevate your impact, improve communication, and unlock new levels of productivity.
