Companies That Replace People with AI Will Get Left Behind

If you only read one thing about AI/LLM this week, make it this: Companies That Replace People with AI Will Get Left Behind written by Behnam Tabrizi and Babak Pahlavan for Harvard Business Review.

TL;DR:

- The key is to adopt a startup mentality and a bias for boldness — together, these create the conditions for agile innovation.
- This is both a corporate and personal issue — people and companies both need to change their mentalities to stay relevant.

Here's Dan Mason's hot take:

- AI and LLMs are such a disruption to business as usual that companies need to genuinely rethink how their business works, and how they will position themselves to succeed.
- Adopting a startup mentality, with a bias for boldness, is the best way to ensure that you aren’t left behind as AI tools and techniques mature. You need to change how you think, how you work, and how you team to give yourself the best chances to survive, and thrive.
