Weekly Update Q&A - June 13

Live Replay from Christopher's Future-Focused Live Q&A

Thank you to everyone who tuned into the live Q&A! You’re always welcome to message me with questions, and I’ll try to include them in future sessions.

Be sure to join me for my next live video next week.

Here are the questions from today’s session.

Anthropic / White Collar AI Disruption

  1. You said a lot of people recognize the disruption AI will cause—but don’t know what to do. What are the first steps leaders should take when they feel that uncertainty?

  1. You mentioned leaders often talk about AI disruption while doing little to prepare their people. What would “doing the work” actually look like in a company context?

  1. How do you think the layoffs in entry-level white collar roles will affect long-term succession planning inside organizations—and what would you be doing if you were a CHRO right now?


LEGO + Turing / AI & Kids

  1. One of the more powerful ideas was that kids might be using AI better than adults. How do we avoid dismissing or underestimating that just because it challenges our view of experience?

  1. You touched on equity—how do we practically close that AI gap in schools and communities when most public systems are already under-resourced?

  1. If you’re not a parent, why should you care how kids are using AI? What’s the real-world impact for leaders or professionals who don’t have kids at home?


Apple / AI’s Illusion of Reasoning

  1. Apple’s research suggests advanced models actually perform worse under complexity. What’s your take on why that matters for real-world use—not just benchmarks?

  1. You talked about the “illusion of thinking” AI gives off. How do you personally test whether a model is giving you quality reasoning vs just sounding smart?

  1. What kinds of tasks do you now intentionally not delegate to AI—based on your trust in its reasoning limits?


Final Wrap Question

  1. If there was one takeaway from this episode you wish every executive or leader would sit with longer—it’s not tactical, just human—what would it be?
