AI Beyond the Hype — A Conversation on Tech, Trust, and Transformation with Christopher Mims
In this new episode One Vision podcast, Theodora Lau welcomes back Christopher Mims, Technology Columnist for the Wall Street Journal, to discuss his 2026 book “How to AI,” a practical guide aimed at the 90% who aren’t early adopters. They discuss the book’s “24 Laws of AI”, the evolving role of AI in the workplace, and how to prepare for the new future (without the hype).
Who will win the AI race? And what might Christopher be writing about next year? Stay till the end of the conversation for the hint … and it is not what you’d expect!
You can order a copy of Mims’ new book, “How to AI”, on bookshop.org and Amazon. And you can find my recent review of the book here on LinkedIn.
