On acquihires, agents, and new startup norms

On acquihires, agents, and new startup norms

What does being successful at work look like as AI tools improve and get increasingly integrated into our lives?

I don’t envision most workers losing their jobs to AIs. But I do envision many workers who don’t embrace AI being replaced by other humans leveraging the latest technology to do their jobs more effectively. That’s part of why I think that all business schools—and, more broadly, all schools looking to prepare students for the future of work—should be teaching classes on managing agents. Whether you’re an individual contributor, a manager, or a founder, your job description should soon (if it doesn't already) include management of AIs. 

I also think that the mega investments that hyperscalers like Google, Meta, and OpenAI have been making to bring on AI talent isn’t crazy; we’re in an environment where certain people are poised to bring companies billions, maybe even trillions, in value.

Aria Finger and I cover this and more in a special live Riff we hosted with an audience of AI founders and leaders in partnership with Village Global in New York City last month. Big thanks to Ben Casnocha and the Village Global team for making this fun conversation possible. You can catch Part I here (Part II will follow next week):
