What it takes to build an AI-ready workforce

NLW is joined by Kristen Swanson, Head of AI Fluency at Anthropic, and Jaime Schmidt, Professor of Accounting and Director of the C. Aubrey Smith Center for Auditing Education and Research at the University of Texas at Austin, to explore what it takes to turn AI from a set of individual experiments into a durable enterprise capability. The conversation looks at the hard parts of that transformation: building real fluency instead of shallow familiarity, helping professionals trust AI without over-trusting it, redesigning education, and training for AI-augmented work, and creating the conditions for people across an organization to actually change how they work.
