Is the AI disruption overhyped or just getting started?

Yale says the labor market isn’t budging. Walmart is betting $1B that employee training is the missing piece. Meanwhile, Gen Z is pivoting to trades in an AI-fearing talent shift no one saw coming.

This week’s AI headlines tell a much deeper story than flashy product drops.
From ChatGPT turning into a shopping mall to Claude going full autonomous coder, and the rise of “work slop” at the office—every release points to a strategic fork in the road: consumerization vs. enterprise agents.

Your job as a business leader? Know which wave to ride—and when.
This episode delivers the insights to help you navigate the noise, avoid the hype, and see what’s really happening under the surface.

In this session, you'll discover:

• Why Yale’s new research says there’s no labor disruption yet—and what that doesn’t mean
• How Walmart’s $1B upskilling initiative reflects a bigger workforce gap than most execs are ready to admit
• The quiet revolution: Claude 4.5 coding autonomously for 30 hours straight
• OpenAI’s wild move into consumer land with Sora 2 + an invite-only social video feed
• Why Instant Checkout turns ChatGPT into an e-commerce front-end (and how it could threaten Amazon)
• The rise of “work slop”—and the reputational risk it brings to your team
• Agentic browsers are here: Comet, Opera Neon, and more change how we interact with the web
• AI in Hollywood: The synthetic actress already replacing human stars
• And a shocking stat: 58% of employees are using AI tools with no training—and leaking sensitive data
