How can we learn to work with intelligent machines and Generative AI?

Why is the human connection so critical to learning new skills?

My guest on this episode is Matt Beane, Assistant Professor, UCSB Technology Management Program, Digital Fellow at Stanford & MIT, and & Author of the new book, “The Skill Code.”

During our conversation Matt and I discuss:

  • Why we are “sacrificing learning for productivity” with technology like Generative AI and robotics
  • Why mentors, coaches, and apprenticeships are more important than ever before
  • How challenge, complexity, and connection are critical to developing valuable skills
  • Why organizations need to shift their mindset from “Skills + AI” to “Skills X AI”
  • Why he believes that learning and development is the new number one function in every organization
