Four stories that capture where we are right now: busy people finding joy, companies rethinking what work is worth in the age of AI, teaching the next generation AI fluency, and the luxury boom.
RE whose responsibility this is - I think it’s both, honestly. We own our career development, and AI literacy is part of that now. But I feel really fortunate that where I am, we’re investing heavily in creating actual space for people to learn and experiment. That’s the very fun part of my job right now 🤓
What I’m seeing: so much of using these tools well isn’t just understanding the mechanics, but rather it’s exposure to ideas and sharing examples with each other. The real learning happens when people can try things, see what others are doing, and build on each other’s experiments.
I love that Maria!! Maybe we should talk for a future edition of Reframed :) Would love to spotlight companies that are finding ways to infuse AI learning into their cultures well and what works/what doesn’t.
Speaking of AI literacy, I can't stop thinking about how this tech was launched, pushed on and adopted by adults without any type of educational framework. people were just told, this is the future, learn it or be replaced. i'm glad they're teaching kids AI literacy but adults need it too lol!
I know and it certainly won’t be the last time! It feels very much like the smart phone and social media. Both fundamentally shifted modern day life but the responsibility for use falls on the adult consumer (exception being parents/parental controls and education/schools whose responsibility is the student). And we’re just now understanding what the negative effects are of them, AI impact research will happen at a much faster clip.
I’d speculate that any training will be a business opportunity (lol #capitalism) for the people that become experts.
It’s a cycle!
Would be kind of cool though if Anthropic/OpenAI adopted the Genius Bar type model tho.

I'd love that!! Let's do it.
