#538 AI and Learning: No Adult Left Behind - George Pillari interviewed by Niels Brabandt

In this leadership interview, Niels Brabandt speaks with George Pillari about AI, adult learning, productivity, career resilience, and the central message of Pillari's book No Adult Left Behind. George Pillari explains why many capable adults risk being left behind as artificial intelligence becomes embedded in everyday work. He discusses the fear that AI will replace jobs, the practical benefits of using AI for presentations, CVs, job applications, technical problems, and industry understanding, and the need for adults to build confidence through direct use. The conversation also explores AI in medicine, aviation, autonomous cars, military systems, and the hidden risk of skills erosion when humans rely too heavily on automation. Niels Brabandt and George Pillari discuss why leaders must create accessible learning pathways rather than leaving AI adoption to chance. This episode is essential listening for business decision-makers, executives, HR leaders, learning and development professionals, transformation teams, consultants, coaches, and anyone responsible for helping adults use AI responsibly and effectively.
