AI & The Future of Work

Knownwell
About this episode

Steve Jobs once called the computer the "bicycle for the mind." What should we call AI? The Ferrari? Fighter jet? Maybe even the flying car?

In this episode, host Courtney Baker, along with Knownwell's CEO David DeWolf and Chief Product Officer Mohan Rao, dive into the transformative power of AI and its impact on the future of work. 

Our panel discusses the exciting yet daunting concept of AI as a second brain and the ethical considerations that come with it. How will AI elevate human potential and reshape the workplace? David and Mohan share their insights on balancing human creativity with AI's capabilities, ensuring we don't lose the human touch in this technological revolution.

Special guest Naeem Ishaq, CFO of Checkr, joins Pete Buer to shed light on how AI is changing hiring practices and the roles companies are seeking in this new era. Naeem explains how Checkr leverages AI to streamline background checks and ensure fairness, significantly impacting the hiring landscape.

All that PLUS... another segment of Pete/CounterPete. This time the Petes tackle the provocative statement: "AI is coming for all our jobs." They explore the potential and limitations of AI in the workforce, with insights from World Economic Forum data predicting a dynamic shift in job roles.
