Eps.66 | Moving from AI literacy to fluency: Josh Mackenzie on preparing early careers for an automated future

Tim Bond speaks with Josh Mackenzie, Founder and Chairman of Development Beyond Learning, about how the transition from AI literacy to AI fluency is reshaping skill requirements for graduates and early career talent. Josh explains why human skills become more essential as AI tools become more prevalent in the workplace.

Josh shares:

The distinction between AI literacy (a technical transition) and AI fluency (a human skills question)
Why self-awareness and resilience remain the biggest skills gaps for young people entering the workforce
How employers can prepare early career talent for an increasingly AI-augmented workplace
The concept of becoming "agent bosses" who manage digital colleagues
Common pitfalls such as the "trust trap" (over-trusting AI outputs) and the "speed trap" (prioritising speed over quality)
How personalised AI-enabled learning is transforming corporate training
