Episode notes
AI As Human Amplifier
- Greg Shewmaker frames AI as a tool to maximize human efficiency rather than automate everything away.
- He argues companies that amplify people and redeploy gains will win, not those treating AI as a pure tech project.

- Shewmaker says C-suite sponsorship is required because AI changes business models, policies, and processes.

- Implement guardrails, auditing, and the ability to remove agents if they fail to integrate or deliver.
