Generative AI has sparked excitement, fear, and a whole lot of uncertainty.

Are we on the cusp of a new industrial revolution - or stuck in a national holding pattern?

In this episode of Change Happens, Jenelle sits down with two of Microsoft Australia’s top AI leaders: Sarah Carney, National Chief Technology Officer, and Tim Allen, National Skills Director. Together, they explore the reality behind the AI hype and offer a clear-eyed view on how Australia can move from hesitation to transformation.

In this conversation, Tim and Sarah share:

Why we’re in a ‘collective limbo’ when it comes to AI adoption
What Australia risks by holding back - and what we gain by leaning in
Why we need to build AI literacy across industries, from nurses to sales teams
Why leaders must make space to “play” with AI, and how that can lead to scale
The growing importance of coaching, clarity, and communication as core leadership skills
How AI can enhance, not replace, our humanity at work and home

Host: Jenelle McMaster, Deputy CEO and People & Culture Leader at EY
Guests: Tim Allen and Sarah Carney, Microsoft Australia
