AI Works Best as a Teammate, Not a Tool

John is joined by Lauren Esposito to explore why AI delivers the most value when treated as a digital teammate rather than just another tool. They unpack how businesses can build a true hybrid workforce by integrating digital workers alongside humans, reshaping roles, accountability, and leadership in the age of AI. You’ll learn how managing AI like an employee unlocks better outcomes, trust, and long-term ROI, and why AI adoption can’t live solely in IT. This conversation offers practical insight into the future of work, digital labor strategy, and what it takes to orchestrate AI for real business impact.
