About this episode
The episode explores the misconceptions surrounding AI layoffs and emphasizes the importance of human involvement in leveraging AI effectively.
We dismantle the AI layoff excuse. We explore why executives who are separated from the daily work are using artificial intelligence as a smokescreen for over hiring and poor strategy.
