Episode 17 - AI Augmented Workforce

About this episode

The episode discusses the role of AI in augmenting the workforce and the skills needed for success in this new landscape.

There's a lot of talk of AI replacing jobs in the future, but in reality, it's a new technological tool that people will need to know how to work with and ensure they have the right skills to do so, in order to be successful. AWS Director of North America CSMs, Blake Chism joined us to discuss skills and strategies for people to be successful in an AI augmented workforce, and things CSMs are doing to help our customers navigate this new landscape. Bottom Line: AI isn't about replacing humans - it's about amplifying our uniquely human capabilities to deliver greater value.
