In episode 160 of The PreparedEx Podcast, host Rob Burton explores why human crisis analysts, particularly those with military and intelligence backgrounds, continue to outperform AI in crisis scenario design. As AI becomes more capable, some predict it will replace human analysts, but the real strength lies in combining both. Force shapers understand intent, emotion, friction, and cascading impacts in ways machines cannot. They create realistic, high-pressure environments that reveal true leadership, adapt dynamically in real time, and design scenarios that push decision-makers beyond predictable patterns. While AI can generate simulations, only humans can shape experiences that build stronger, more resilient leaders for the complex crises of the future.
