AI on the Org Chart - Patrick Forth

What does it actually mean to have a colleague who never sleeps, never calls in sick, and can hold thousands of conversations at once? Not in theory but right now, in real organisations?

Our guest this week is Patrick Forth, an Group Executive Director at FutureSecure AI, a company that builds what they call AI co-workers: sophisticated agentic systems that sit on org charts, have names and personas, and are managed much like human employees.

Patrick shares what some of the AI co-workers they’ve built so far actually do in enterprises today and what it takes to get them working inside organisations.

In this episode you'll hear:

• About the AI co-worker managing thousands of scheduling conversations on WhatsApp
• Why their AI co-workers focus on complex, high-return use cases rather than simple automation
• Patrick's take on the job loss debate
• How one organisation puts humans and AI co-workers on the same org chart just in different colours, and
• Whether AI co-workers should be treated like software or like colleagues.

If you want a glimpse into the possible future of your workplace and colleagues then enjoy this episode with someone who’s at the coalface helping companies choose use cases and deploying AI co-workers right now
