Amanda Kahlow’s bold vision: reward employees who build AI agents to replace their own roles with equity and bigger opportunities. 

The result? AI “superhumans” handling complex tasks while humans double down on creativity, empathy, and innovation.

It’s not about job loss, it’s about redesigning what work can be.

The real opportunity? AI-native process re-engineering. 

Instead of layering AI onto old workflows, imagine rebuilding them from the ground up with AI at the core.

From outputs to outcomes

• Processes as living, adaptable systems
• Incremental changes
• Adaptability > narrow accuracy

McKinsey’s Latest on Agentic AI

McKinsey’s report “Seizing the agentic AI advantage” tackles the gen AI paradox: broad adoption, but limited business impact so far.

Key insight: The next breakthrough lies in AI agents — proactive, goal-driven virtual collaborators that automate complex business processes.

To succeed, organizations must:

• Redesign workflows from the ground up
• Build an “agentic AI mesh” to orchestrate these systems
• Balance human, technology, and governance dimensions

McKinsey frames this as a CEO playbook for AI transformation: moving from pilots to industrialized, scalable delivery that creates measurable value.

1. Your next customer might be an AI agent - and it doesn’t care about your brand story, influencer campaigns, or emotional hooks.
2. 🧠 Logic > Loyalty: AI agents prioritize structured data, availability, and value - not lifestyle branding.
3. 📊 If your product info isn’t machine-readable, it might as well not exist.
4. 🔁 M2M commerce is coming fast - will your systems know how to negotiate with autonomous agents?
5. 🧩 Marketing must go cross-functional: It’s not just a creative game anymore - product, data, and dev must align.
6. 🧬 Trust needs to be redefined: How do you encode “reputation” into a signal machines understand?
7. ⏳ Human vs. Agent detection will be essential - Can your systems tell the difference?
