The Talent Development Hot Seat · 2026-06-23 · 15 min
In this solo episode, Andy Storch makes the case for why AI fluency isn't optional - it's the new baseline for employability. While the macro debates around AI (government regulation, ethics, AGI timelines) are worth following, Andy argues that the wave is coming regardless. The real question is: will you be ready? Andy draws a powerful analogy between the early days of listing "proficient in Microsoft Office" on a résumé and what AI proficiency means for today's workforce - except the stakes are exponentially higher. He shares what he's hearing from talent development professionals, company leaders, and frontline employees, and explains why the biggest gap isn't technology - it's adoption. He also shares exciting news: Andy is launching an AI Kickstarter Workshop (available this fall) - a hands-on 90-minute session designed to get teams not just learning about AI, but actually using it and producing real output during the session.
