AI is rapidly transforming how work gets done, but most people are only scratching the surface of what’s possible.

In this episode of Mind the Machine, we sit down with Jay Hack, Head of AI at ClickUp and co-founder of Codegen, to explore how AI is changing productivity, software, and the future of work. Jay shares his journey from studying AI at Stanford to building startups and eventually leading AI strategy at one of the fastest growing work platforms in the world.

We discuss common myths about AI, why hallucinations shouldn’t stop you from using it, and why learning AI today may be as important as learning to use the internet in the 1990s.

If you’re curious about where AI is headed and how it will reshape the way humans work alongside intelligent systems, this conversation offers a thoughtful and optimistic perspective.
