Connecting Mission to Action When AI Changes Everything with Diana Wu David


Listen Later

I spent an hour with Diana Wu David, a top 10 global futurist who advises Fortune 500s on what's next. She told me 95% of workers see value in using AI, but they don't trust their companies to ensure positive outcomes for them.

So people automate parts of their job in secret. They become what Diana calls "secret cyborgs."

We've created an environment where being more productive is something you have to hide. And the organizations that are actually succeeding with AI aren’t the ones with the biggest budgets, they're the ones doing "job crafting"—redesigning work in partnership with employees, not imposing AI from above.

Diana also dropped a brutal insight on how AI gets adopted (poorly) at scale, why AI is making everyone busier, and the one skill your kids actually need in the AI age.

What You'll Learn:

  • What the AI trust crisis is costing organizations
  • The three-year AI revolution: why this technology is integrating 3x faster than any general-purpose technology in history, and why most companies aren't ready
  • Job crafting vs. job cutting: the specific approach companies that succeed with AI are taking (and why AI-native startups have it easiest)
  • What the "capability absorption gap" means for your career
  • The productivity paradox: why AI made your time more valuable, which made you busier than ever
  • How the role of the middle manager has fundamentally shifted
  • The one skill to teach your kids that schools won't
