There’s a line doing the rounds. You’ve heard it. You’ve probably shared it.
“AI won’t replace agents. But agents who use AI will replace those who don’t.”
In Episode 1 of The AI Edit, Samantha McLean unpacks why that statement – while not wrong – isn’t actually useful, and what the research says about how AI changes the way we work.
- The “work harder” ceiling is real. You can’t outwork your way to the next level – you need to work differently.
- The five stages of technology adoption – fear, resistance, gradual adoption, transformation, and “how did we live without this” – apply to AI just as they did to the internet, smartphones, and social media.
- Harvard’s research shows that a person working with AI as a collaborator performs as well as a two-person team.
- The AI First mindset means putting AI at the centre of tasks and opportunities – not as an afterthought.
The AI Edit is a weekly series of short clips from the AI First Agent Accelerator. New episodes weekly.
