About this episode

October 15, 2025: AI is no longer just automating work — it's reorganizing it.
In today's episode of Future Ready Today, Jacob Morgan explores five major stories reshaping leadership and HR:

  • 🏪 Walmart + ChatGPT: Inside the launch of "Agentic Commerce" and how it's transforming frontline work.

  • AFL-CIO's Worker-Centered AI Agenda: Why labor unions are fighting for algorithmic transparency and worker voice.

  • 💥 Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger's AI Bubble Warning: The hype, the risk, and the long game for HR.

  • ✈️ GE Aerospace's $30M Workforce Training Investment: How one legacy company is doubling down on human capability.

  • 🤖 The "AI Scapegoat" Story: Why blaming technology for layoffs could destroy employee trust.

Jacob breaks down what these stories mean for HR professionals and business leaders — and why the future won't belong to those who use AI best, but to those who use it most humanly.
