Key Takeaways

We're only at the very beginning of what's going to be an amplified acceleration. The innovation is happening, but AI is also learning how to improve itself. It's learning how to improve and make better models. So what we see now is actually the slowest period that will happen.

Right now it's about speed to learn. How do we learn faster? How do we ingest faster? AI is almost like this organism in the organization. It's more than just typical software. So we need to develop this new relationship and how we think about it and collaborate together.

As we get better at understanding how to harness these tools, we'll be able to develop digital workers or digital teams where AI is actually performing like a team or a worker. Having intent and thinking about what kind of relationship you want and what you want from this AI is very useful for a mindset shift in how you work with it.
