Скачать или смотреть Explore AI’s 2027 Predictions | DDI Global Leadership Trust Crisis | Dark Side of Personalized AI

Happy Friday everyone! We are back at it again, and this week is a spicy one, so there’s no easing in. I’ll be diving headfirst into some of the biggest undercurrents shaping tech, leadership, and how we show up in a world that feels like it’s shifting under our feet. If you like the version of me with a little extra spunk, I think you’ll enjoy this week’s in particular.






With that, let’s get to it.






Your AI Nightmare Scenario? What Happens If They’re Right? - Some of the brightest minds in AI dropped a narrative-style projection of how they think the next 5 years could play out based on their take on the trajectory of AI. I really appreciated that they didn’t claim it was a prophecy. However, that doesn’t mean ignore it. It’s grounded in real capabilities and real risks. I focus on some of the key elements to watch that I think can help you look differently at what’s already unfolding around us.






Trust in Leadership is Collapsing from the Bottom Up - DDI recently put out one of the most comprehensive leadership reports out there, and it doesn’t look good. Trust in direct managers just dropped below trust in the C-suite, and that should terrify every leader. When the people closest to the work stop believing in the people closest to them, the foundation cracks. I break down some of the interconnected pieces we need to start fixing ASAP. There’s no time for a blame game; we need to rebuild before a collapse.






All That AI Personalization Comes with a Price - The new wave of AI enhancements and expanded context windows didn’t just make AI smarter. It’s becoming eerily good at guessing who you are, what you care about, and what to say next. While on the surface, that sounds helpful (and it is), you need to be careful. There’s a good chance you may not realize what it’s doing and how, all without your permission. I dig into the unseen tradeoffs most people are missing and why that matters more than ever.
