There’s a lot of hype — and fear — about what AI could mean for the future of work and everyday life.

So what’s actually true? Josh Tyrangiel set out to find answers by talking to top experts across multiple fields, and what he found surprised even him.

In this episode, he explains how AI is already changing the workplace, the key factor that could determine how disruptive it becomes, and what powerful leaders are (and aren’t) doing right now.
