Paul Roetzer and Cathy McPhillips answer 15 practical and strategic questions about using AI at work, from finding time and designing agents to funding, governance, disclosure, workforce development, and platform risk.
This episode presents AI adoption as an organizational discipline rather than a collection of isolated experiments. The hosts recommend starting with role-specific, high-value marketing tasks; creating recurring build sessions; using consultants only to accelerate an internally owned capability; and combining customization, human oversight, and risk-based permissions. They examine the still immature economics of AI, including tokens, infrastructure, training, and dependence on one provider. The discussion also addresses vendor contracts, disclosure standards, the threat to entry-level career pipelines, the opacity of LLMs, and the need to document, mirror, and govern AI systems so businesses can remain resilient when platforms change or fail.
