Is the AI disruption overhyped or just getting started?

Yale says the labor market isn’t budging. Walmart is betting $1B that employee training is the missing piece. Meanwhile, Gen Z is pivoting to trades in an AI-fearing talent shift no one saw coming.

Your job as a business leader? Know which wave to ride—and when.
This episode delivers the insights to help you navigate the noise, avoid the hype, and see what’s really happening under the surface.

In this session, you'll discover:

• Why Yale’s new research says there’s no labor disruption yet—and what that doesn’t mean
• How Walmart’s $1B upskilling initiative reflects a bigger workforce gap than most execs are ready to admit
• The quiet revolution: Claude 4.5 coding autonomously for 30 hours straight
• OpenAI’s wild move into consumer land with Sora 2 + an invite-only social video feed
