AI Fluency and the New Labor Market Reality
The new McKinsey report I wrote about yesterday shows how quickly the labor market is shifting.

Provisioned Agents: The Next Generation of Digital Workers
The idea that AI simply “assists” or “augments” us is already feeling outdated.

They operate within the same systems, use the same data, and […]
