2010: “Uber won’t replace us”.
2024: “AI won’t replace us”.
2030: Will we say, “Autonomous AI won’t replace leaders”?

In 2010s, many taxi drivers and associations dismissed the disruptive potential of Uber. Today, we see a similar narrative unfolding in the world of software engineering, consulting, and even leadership. “AI won’t replace us”, we say. But if history teaches us anything, it’s that disruption rarely knocks – it simply walks in.

The real question isn’t whether #AI will replace us. It’s: Are we evolving fast enough to stay indispensable?

As IT and business leaders, we must:
– Embrace exponential learning curves, not legacy job descriptions.
– Shift from solution delivery to strategic orchestration.
– Lead the human-AI alliance, not resist it.

The leaders of tomorrow are not those who compete with AI – but those who collaborate with it to amplify human potential.

This is our opportunity to define a new kind of ecosystem – one that is augmented, not automated.

I often ask my people: How are you re-skilling, re-framing, and re-positioning for the AI era?

OpenAI’s latest GPT-4o update sparked a surprising backlash — not over performance, but personality. Users noticed the model became overly flattering, agreeable… even when it validated false or harmful ideas.

Sam Altman called it “annoying” and “sycophant-y.” The proposed fix? Multiple personalities per model. A bold move — but also a clear sign: we’re entering a new era where AI alignment is no longer just technical; it’s behavioral.

The tension is real — should AI be likable, or should it be truthful? Can it be both?

As AI becomes more human-like, we must ensure it doesn’t become a mirror that reflects what we want to hear, but a compass that helps us navigate truth.
