"University Degrees for Yesterday's Market" 🤯
Anthropic’s new labor-market report shows the gap between what AI can do in theory and how companies are using it. The early signal isn’t mass unemployment, it's the erosion of entry-level white-collar tasks.

At play is AI Darwinism. Some are aiming reinvent the future with AI while others look to scale yesterday with it. But you can’t automate your way to innovation.

We interrupt this program to bring you an important message...
I wrote a short newsletter post after my keynote at the @bakerhughesco conference. It focuses on the real work ahead: moving beyond automation to augmentation, and measuring success by net new value, not just efficiency.
Please watch! 🙏

In this follow-on clip, I unpack why physical AI (and world models) is the next major leap. It introduces an entirely new kind of workforce: intelligent devices and humanoids working alongside people.
The move from pilot to production starts with vision...

Two non-negotiables for scaling AI without blowing up the future you’re trying to build: 1) governance and 2) humanity.

"Most businesses have no clue what is about to hit them in the next 10 years when most rules of engagement change." Yet most companies are approaching it with the same mindset that has limited success during digital transformation.

AI Darwinism...it's a mirror.
“The future doesn't belong to companies that use the most AI… it’s those who reimagine their enterprise.”
That’s the point too many leaders miss.
AI isn’t the finish line, it’s a reset button.
A CTRL-ALT-DEL moment for how work works.

What does it actually mean to be an AI-first leader?
In 1 minute, I'll share how AI leadership doesn't mean to just do yesterday, faster. Instead, it’s here to help you reimagine the future forward. 💡

I love this! "Why I hate Brian Solis." 🫶
"His new book Mindshift is…habit-warping. It reads like a train, and I just love the mesmerizing layout of the book. It invites you to DO stuff, connects with you in ways that are smart, clever, and annoyingly impactful."

AI isn’t the strategy. It’s the capability.
Automation makes yesterday faster. Reinvention creates what’s next.
Before you roll out agents + use cases, answer 3 leadership questions:
1) Where are we going?
2) Why does it matter?
3) How will we get there?

The Mindshift CEOs Can’t Ignore - and why they need a mindset shift now
A mindshift is a CEO-level Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
It’s a reset of leadership itself.
How do you want to reboot?

It's how to rewire your brain to augment and innovate, not automate, with AI. 💡
Excerpt from the Agentic Singularity Summit, organized by Hard Skill Exchange.

In 2026, the next competitive advantage won’t come from adding more AI. It will come from architecting work.
The companies that win with AI will build a better way of working...

In 2025, Jensen Huang famously predicted that IT becomes “HR for AI agents.”
Also in 2025, Moderna put agentic AI under the CHRO.
Different org charts… same reality.
In 2026, “work planning” shifts from org chart to work chart.
This triggers a new CIO–CHRO mandate.

“We’re not building a phone.” – Steve Jobs
This was Steve's masterclass in reframing. In an AI-first world with no playbook, the competitive edge is a beginner’s mind, and the willingness to ask different questions.

No playbook. No proven answers. That’s why leadership now is simple: think differently, ask different questions.
This is the story of Steve Jobs' "iPhone moment," the moment he gave his team the gift of a Mindshift.

AI adoption is evolving faster than leadership.
Don't ask where can you add AI. Ask what should you rebuild because AI exists.
Optimizing yesterday’s processes is just a faster way to arrive at the same limits.
