Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Designing for Agentic AI Attention and Focus (Steven Puri)
Q: What warning signs indicate the need to adjust talent development and hiring in an AI-enabled workplace?
If bottom-layer roles diminish and junior talent cannot see a path for progression, organizations should rebalance by investing in upskilling, mentoring, and new roles that leverage human creative and strategic capabilities.
Designing for Agentic AI Attention and Focus (Steven Puri)
Q: What practical exercises help individuals discover their optimal flow and productivity rhythms?
A simple weekly grid tracking morning/afternoon and task types reveals personal patterns, followed by structuring days around peak deep-work windows and three-pronged daily goals to prevent overwhelm.
How to Set Up Your AI Governance and Risk Program (Walter Haydock)
Q: Which regulations or standards should AI leaders be most aware of?
Understand a spectrum from mandatory regulations like the EU AI Act to voluntary frameworks like NIST AI RMF and finally certifiable standards like ISO 42001, with the minimum often viewed as regulatory compliance followed by voluntary governance and external certification.
How to Set Up Your AI Governance and Risk Program (Walter Haydock)
Q: What is the first step leaders should take when they realize they need to manage AI risk?
Create an AI governance policy that clearly lays out risk appetite, approval workflows for tools, and possibly a tiered use-case approach so employees understand what is permissible and what is not, reducing ad hoc risk taking.
How to Set Up Your AI Governance and Risk Program (Walter Haydock)
Q: If AI were a book, what would it be?
A synthesis of all written works, because generative AI systems are trained on a broad spectrum of books and sources, integrated into model weights and training processes, which explains why the AI reflects a wide range of human knowledge.
