The Medium identifies essential signals on how technology is shaping the business of culture, and how the marketplace is evolving in response.

I think for me it's really about how to keep humans in the loop and really deal with the fact that their fear factor of roles going away and not having a fit for where employees are going to be and nowhere to go. So for me it's thinking about how do we force multiply and harness what people can do to bring them on a journey with AI and then recreate roles and positions to make it sure that they're doing more valuable work.

As opposed to the job that they've always done that may somehow get taken away by AI, as opposed to rethinking about their value proposition in their work and doing new work.

For my twelfth and last interview in the Voices In ChAInge interview series, I speak with Adetola Abiade, a startup founder.

About Voices in ChAInge

Voices in ChAInge is a series of 12 short interviews (1.5 to 5 minutes long) that offer a wide variety of answers to this simple question: “What is a recent market signal or development in AI that forced you to rethink a key business assumption?”

These interviews were recorded at The ON_Discourse AI Transformation Summit with over 100 participants “representing every C in the suite.”

My selection standard was simple: A shared interest in a conversation.

The responses varied widely. Some explored abstract concepts about humanity and creativity. Other narrowly focused on how AI is changing customer relationships with brands and brand product development.

Each conversation offers a rare window into how decision-makers across industries are recalibrating their thinking in real-time as AI transforms their business fundamentals.
