Welcome to episode 169 of the AI for Career Success podcast from Curt Robbins. This educational content is designed to give working professionals who leverage AI as a tool for efficiency and productivity a competitive edge.
In this episode, hosts Daphne and Fred unpack an article from Dr. Cindy Gordon, an AI data scientist and author in Toronto, entitled "The AI Narrative Continues a Strong Drum Beat of All-encompassing Sounds: How are You Leading?" that was published on LinkedIn on January 5.
Gordon examines the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence throughout 2025, highlighting its deep integration into global economics and the corporate world. She expresses significant concern regarding the speed of AI advancement, noting that the prevalence of inaccurate digital content and the loss of human oversight pose serious risks to society.
Gordon focuses on the evolving regulatory landscape, specifically a new federal executive order aimed at centralizing AI policy and potentially overriding individual state laws.
Additionally, Gordon details strategic industry shifts, such as high-value acquisitions by Meta and SoftBank and the intense competition for dominance between major tech giants.
Ultimately, the article serves as a call for responsible leadership, urging executives and boards to prioritize safety and human control over pure innovation.
