This futurist’s AI advice will change how you work forever

If you think AI is all about saving time and cutting corners, think again.  In this conversation with futurist Bob Johansen, we explore how AI can be used as a thinking partner - to help you generate ideas, build clarity, and make better decisions in a chaotic, unpredictable world. Bob argues that the real power of AI lies in augmented intelligence, not artificial intelligence.  Bob Johansen is a distinguished fellow with the Institute for the Future in Silicon Valley. For more than 50 years, Bob has helped organisations around the world prepare for and shape the future. He has written 15 books and his latest one Navigating the Age of Chaos, is out on October 28.  He walks us through: - The key skill that will future-proof your career - How to use AI to get unstuck and think more creatively - Why clarity beats certainty in a BANI world (Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, and Incomprehensible) - The leadership traits needed to thrive in the AI-first decade  Whether you’re excited about AI or sceptical, this episode will shift your mindset and give you a roadmap for working with AI, not against it.  Want to learn more about AI upskilling?
