In Episode 8 of The Mostly AI SmartPod, the hosts tackle the question: Are companies doubting their staffers’ ability to use AI effectively?
Paul Rubinstein of Visier joins the show to talk about what’s behind the doubt, noting that it is the “fear of messing up” that is stymying AI deployment efforts. “I just think that people are focused on the wrong messing up, the wrong mistakes,” he says.
This view of AI is rooted in companies seeing the tech through the lens of spend over culture, which, Rubinstein asserts, should be the other way around. He shares his thoughts on what it will take to shove this fear aside and get moving on the promise of AI.
The Notbots (Susan Rush, Victoria Martinez and Michael Domingo) also chime in on the AI tech that got them worked up in the last week, including Cursor’s Origin platform, the World Humanoid Robot Games and how everyday people are using AI.
Martinez finished the episode with the 2-Minute Tech Pulse featuring such tools as Claude Skills, ChatGPT Apple Message integration and Cursor.
