Building AI-Fluent Organizations: Where AI Becomes a Superpower, with Candice Faktor

from Toronto Talks · host Toronto Region Board of Trade

What does it actually take to build an organization that doesn't just use AI, but thinks with it? In this episode of Toronto Talks, host Jon Worren sits down with Candice Faktor, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Disco to unpack what AI fluency means and why most organizations are getting AI adoption backwards. Candice breaks down the three types of people inside every organization (catalysts, converts, and anchors), why "work that can be done by AI will be done by AI," and what changes when leaders stop treating AI as a software purchase and start treating it as a superpower their people can grow into. Recorded against the backdrop of Toronto Tech Week, the conversation also takes stock of our city's tech ecosystem nearly a decade after Toronto was first called the next big AI hub.
