Artificial intelligence is reshaping the nature of work, redefining what constitutes intelligence, and increasingly embedding itself into institutional governance.
In this episode, Alan Shimel, Jon Swartz, Fred Wilmot, Anne Ahola Ward, and Gina Rosenthal delve into the impact AI is having on how we work and the kinds of jobs that may be created or eliminated as automation accelerates.
The conversation examines whether current productivity gains represent structural workforce change or another cycle of technological evolution. The gang also explores the degree to which AI agents might be intelligent, shifting the focus from hype to capability, autonomy, and operational reliability.
Finally, the panel turns to the Supreme Court’s plan to deploy an application designed to surface potential conflicts of interest, highlighting how digital systems are increasingly embedded in governance and oversight.
Across these topics, the common thread is accountability. As AI systems become more capable, enterprises and institutions must rethink how responsibility, transparency, and human judgment evolve alongside them.
