AI Will Save Us! The Great CEO Gaslight of the Modern Industrial Revolution with Felix Mitchell (AI Special - Part 2)

Episode notes

Send us Fan Mail “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.
