The Context Window

Our CEO, Jason Mangold, sits down on location in El Paso with Leila Melendez, CEO of Workforce Solutions Borderplex, and Alma Aranda, Workforce Development Director, to talk about building the workforce of far west Texas, and what AI means for the jobs and training ahead.

Dr. James Stanger joins our CEO, Jason Mangold to talk about what he's hearing from governments and companies around the world as they figure out how to use AI. The big idea: AI works best when it builds on what people already know, not when it replaces them.

In this episode

• What leaders in Taiwan, Australia, the Pentagon and the UK are asking about AI

• Why pressure on entry-level jobs may have more to do with the economy than AI

• "Authentic intelligence," or domain knowledge plus AI

• AI as a translator between teams, roles and skill levels

• Why you should map your processes before you automate them

• Why most hallucinations come down to missing context

• The risk of replacing the people who know how the work really gets done

• Why curiosity, communication and consensus matter more than ever

• How education and certifications are keeping up with AI

• Why forward deployed engineers create jobs instead of cutting them

In our first episode of The Context Window, Waifinder CEO Jason Mangold talks with Krista Johnson, Pete Vargo and Fatima Barron about how they found their way into tech. None of them took a straight path, from a detour through hospitality to a school website built after the roof caved in.

They also share their first AI aha moments, what happens when AI fills in blanks it shouldn’t, and where to start if you’re nervous about using AI at work.
