In this episode of Shape of Tomorrow, I’m unpacking some big shifts that signal where the future of work is headed. First, I dive into Amazon’s RBKS division and their new promotion policy that requires employees to demonstrate how they’re using AI to drive real results. It’s not just about using the latest tools, it’s about showing measurable impact.

Then I take a look at Grok 4. It’s one of the most advanced AI models we’ve seen yet, and it raises important questions about capability, speed of progress, and how we benchmark intelligence.

Finally, I talk about my latest newsletter article, “Humanity’s Last Exam.” We’re at a moment where AI systems are passing the very tests we once used to define human intelligence, from the LSAT to the Bar exam. What does that mean for us, and where do we go from here?

This episode is a mix of tech, strategy, and reflection and I hope it sparks something for you as you think about what it means to lead in this AI-driven world.
