In this brief monologue, the speaker urges leaders to be transparent about the many unknowns surrounding AI’s future impact, especially on employment. He stresses that while leaders cannot guarantee job security in two years, they can commit to concrete support such as training and new career pathways. The core message is that trust—both in leaders and in AI’s outputs—is essential; without it, organizations risk stalling AI adoption. The speaker highlights that surveys and focus groups reveal trust gaps, suggesting that addressing these gaps is critical for leveraging AI effectively.

Be transparent about what you don't know, especially as a leader. Like nobody knows what tomorrow will look like with AI because there's so, so many unknowns and being candid about, I don't know everything and I can't promise that you will all have a job 2 years from now, but what I can promise you is X, Y, and Z, and maybe that is getting you a new path to a new job. Maybe that is training opportunities. And I think we are not having those conversations. And the thing that is, I'll say the concept that's underneath all of this is trust. Is do people trust you? What's their future? Do people trust the AI to produce the right output that is usable? And I think sometimes we're not talking about it, but in various surveys or focus groups and conversation, you can quickly get a sense of, is there trust? In this equation, and maybe the lack of trust is holding us back from getting more out of AI.
