Marie Holive sits down with David Shrier, Professor of Practice in AI and Innovation at Imperial College London, plus author of WELCOME TO AI and The Intelligence Capital Manifesto. We explore why the real opportunity with AI is not just automation, but redesigning work around true human-AI symbiosis. David explains the difference between replacement, augmentation, and symbiosis, why lasting advantage comes from building “Intelligence Capital” rather than simply deploying tools, and what leaders need to change in workflows, decision-making, and culture to make that shift real. Listen in for practical, actionable ideas you can use right away to strengthen AI fluency, rethink work design, and build more valuable collaboration between people and intelligent systems.
