“AI will make your job easier.”
Translation: Here’s a shiny new tool — now do 10x more with half the resources.

In Part 2 of our AI Trilogy, we’re joined by Felix Mitchell (Co-CEO of Instant Impact, host of We Need to Talk About HR) to unpack how leaders are spinning AI as a miracle cure — while quietly restructuring work, cutting jobs, and pushing employees harder than ever.

We dig into:

  • The 3 phases of AI adoption (and why most companies are stuck in Phase 1).
  • Why CEOs love to announce bold AI visions but skip the messy middle.
  • How “just upskill” became the new corporate gaslight when no one can define the skills.
  • The growing tension between efficiency, engagement, and psychological safety.
  • Why mid-size companies might actually come out on top in this industrial revolution on fast-forward.

This isn’t another glossy keynote about innovation. It’s a raw look at the human cost of AI hype — and why psychological safety may be the most important currency of the future of work.
