We've lived through technology revolutions before. Personal computers. The Internet. Smartphones. Social media. Each felt transformative at the time, reshaping how we work and communicate.

But something fundamentally different is happening now. AI learns from every interaction and improves with each release. Yet the signals are confusing. Some pilots are failing, and the hype levels are off the scale. Meanwhile, some companies are reporting the potential for hundreds of millions in savings, capability benchmarks are doubling every seven months, and entire organizational structures are being reimagined around human-AI collaboration.

So how do employers cut through the noise and prepare for such a fundamental shift?

My guest this week is Michael Tchong, a futurist and founder of Ubertrends Academy. In our conversation, Michael explains what makes this revolution different, how to spot true long-term trends beyond the hype, and shares practical strategies for navigating the transformation ahead.

In the interview, we discuss:

  • Are we prepared for the coming disruption?
  • Signals and Uber trends
  • Why AI is unlike past revolutions
  • Separating the hype from the real transformation signals
  • Early adopters versus mainstream users
  • Building hybrid human-AI organizations
  • The coming wave of job displacement
  • Practical upskilling strategies you need to implement
