We discuss the concept of "AI speedrunning," explaining how "fast followers" are often overtaking "first movers" in the artificial intelligence industry. It highlights that companies are now quickly adopting and improving upon new AI breakthroughs rather than solely focusing on original invention. The text cites examples like Apple's market dominance through refinement and Grok's swift impact by leveraging existing platforms and a unique tone, demonstrating that speed to adapt is often more critical than being first. Furthermore, it emphasizes how open-source communities and AI tools are dramatically accelerating R&D cycles, creating a widening gap between organizations that embrace continuous innovation and those that lag. Ultimately, the text argues that success in the AI era hinges on a blend of strategic pioneering and rapid, intelligent adoption, fostering a culture of agility and continuous learning.

Humans and Machines – Redefining Work in the Age of AI - Future of Work Podcast

We examine the emerging concept of AI-native operating systems and their impact on future work, with a particular focus on Warmwind OS. They explain how Warmwind OS functions as a cloud-based digital employee capable of autonomously interacting with existing software through visual interfaces, much like a human user. The texts also address the ongoing debate about what constitutes an "operating system" in the age of AI, comparing Warmwind's approach to other agent-building platforms and research initiatives like AIOS and PwC's "Agent OS" that focus on different aspects of AI orchestration and management. Ultimately, the articles suggest that these new systems represent a shift towards a hybrid human-AI workforce, where AI handles routine tasks, freeing humans for more complex work.

IT SEES, IT CLICKS, IT WORKS: The Operating System Built for AI - Not You

In this episode, we dive into how universities are reimagining computer science education in the age of generative AI. At the University of Washington, students are now citing ChatGPT as collaborators on assignments, and faculty are experimenting with how to teach problem-solving in a world where AI can handle the syntax. We explore what it means when academic leaders say “coding is dead” , - not as a death knell for tech careers, but as a call to shift focus from typing lines of code to designing intelligent systems. With insights from recent grads, startup employers, and curriculum designers, we unpack the evolving definition of “entry-level” and why curiosity, adaptability, and AI fluency are quickly becoming core job skills. From debugging all-nighters to AI-assisted workflows, this is a candid look at what the next generation of tech talent is learning, - and what the rest of us might need to unlearn. Whether you're hiring, teaching, or just trying to stay relevant, this episode explores what “post-coding” really means.

In this episode of Future of Work, we delve into the evolving landscape of AI and its impact on the workplace, featuring insights from Athena Karp and Danielle Li. Their discussion explores why human-AI augmentation is most effective when centered around human capabilities, how early collaboration with AI fosters durable skills, and the emerging concept of a Chief Work Officer. This strategic role is designed to redefine work design, skill development, and human-AI pairing across organizations, addressing the democratization of knowledge and ensuring responsible AI implementation.

Humans + AI: A New Era of Workforce Collaboration - Future of Work Podcast

Blended work isn't just about remote vs. in-person anymore — it's about learning to collaborate with tools that don’t laugh, don’t get coffee, and never need a day off. In this reflection, I explore how artificial intelligence has quietly become a colleague, not just a tool — and what that means for how we work, lead, and connect.

This piece was originally published on LinkedIn as part of my biweekly series on the evolving workplace.

Say Hello to Your Silent Coworker

In this episode, we explore how generative AI is reshaping education and professional development—from rote memorization to agile, question-driven learning.
