As AI continues to augment the abilities of knowledge workers, what happens when AI becomes more team member than tool? Geolab founder, Kian Gohar is joining us on December 11th to talk through this research and experience on human x AI collaboration, including questions like: — How can AI help us work smarter, without making human contributions less valuable? — Where is AI collaboration having the biggest impact in knowledge work? — What are the ethics around treating a third party tool like internal talent? Join us for free and bring your questions! Link to RSVP in the comments.

In last week's Strategy Brief, we reshared a post from Gregory Shove & Taylor Malmsheimer's newsletter, Personal Math, about AI's biggest unspoken roadblock ?? A recent Slack study found that nearly half the workforce is afraid to admit they use AI in their work. The biggest reason: it feels like cheating. The value of original thought and hard work is a staple of traditional knowledge work and AI's contributions challenge that. Greg and Taylor's advice: It's time to get over it, because your boss the people competing for your roles already have.

Mark Daley, Chief AI Officer at Western University, is joining us to explore the impact of AI in higher education through questions like: – How will AI fundamentally change teaching and learning in universities – and is that good or bad? – What can universities do to ensure responsible AI usage in education, if anything? – How do we prepare students to be not just users of AI, but co-creators in shaping its future?
