Could AI evolve from its position as a handy assistant to a fully-fledged teammate in the workplace?

Patrick Lynch, PhD, AI Faculty Lead at Hult International Business School, and Omar Shanti, CTO of HatchWorks, join host Matt Paige to explore the AI industrial revolution we’re seeing and how human-AI collaboration could drastically affect the way teams collaborate.

Patrick takes us through the "four faces of AI" - mechanical, analytical, intuitive, and empathetic - highlighting the progression of AI maturity and what it could mean for the future of work. This framework provides a valuable lens through which leaders can understand and leverage AI in the future.

The episode also touches on cutting-edge AI applications, such as Hume AI's voice models, which can detect and respond to human emotions, opening up new possibilities for AI-human interaction in various fields, from customer service to therapy and education.
