AI Isn’t Just Replacing Work — It’s Rewiring Organizations (Part 1)
Tue Feb 03 2026
AI is impacting more than jobs. It’s reshaping how organizations are designed, how value is created, and which capabilities matter most. In this episode, Jerry Won and AI+HI Project host Nichol Bradford join Sangeet Paul Choudary, founder of Platform Thinking Labs and best-selling author of Reshuffle, to explore why AI should be understood less as human intelligence mimicry and more as the “connective tissue” linking systems, people, and workflows. The conversation examines what this shift means for talent strategy, organizational structure, and leadership in a more fluid, AI-orchestrated future of work.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why AI’s greatest impact is at the system level, not task automation, and how that reshapes organizational design.
How AI commoditizes previously unique skills, redefining jobs, career paths, and talent strategy.
Why leaders must rethink workflows, teams, and organizational identity to stay competitive in the years ahead.
