A room of senior leaders, one defining question:

I was joined by an exceptional panel: Lakhbir Lamba (President & CEO, Regional Management Corp), Anupam Sinha (MD & North America Head of Payments, Citi), Manish Chopra, PhD (Senior Partner, McKinsey & Company), and Radhika Venkatraman (Founder & CEO, Arbis AI). They brought sharp, candid perspectives, and the discussion was made richer still by a distinguished audience of clients, industry thought leaders, and civic leaders who joined the conversation with real depth.
The mood in the room was glass half full, not half empty about the implications of
#AI. A few key ideas that we discussed:
๐น AI and humans are not in a race. It is more like a duet. AI increasingly does the work, while humans set the purpose, the priorities, and the outcomes that matter.
๐น We are moving from human-in-the-loop to human-above-the-loop: AI executing at scale, humans providing imagination, direction, and governance.
๐น AI is a powerful force multiplier. Individuals and small teams can now achieve what once required large organizations. It was inspiring to see how many leaders in the room, including on the panel, are getting hands-on with AI and amplifying themselves.
๐น Trust, transparency, and ethical oversight are becoming the real moat as AI systems grow more autonomous, and this matters even more in
#regulated industries where the cost of getting it wrong is high.
๐น A note of caution: do not use Gen AI blindly. It can be sycophantic, and what it produces does not always stick. Judgment and discernment remain ours to bring.
๐น On the question every parent in the room is asking, what AI means for the next generation: perhaps we worry too much. They are
#AInative, and they seem to be adapting faster and better than we are.
๐น And a question worth sitting with: what will we do with the time AI frees up? The variation in output is likely to widen sharply. Some will use it to amplify themselves tremendously. Others will simply chill.
For me, the deepest thread was this: amidst all the noise and chaos,
#spirituality and
#meditation in particular offer calmness, direction, and inspiration. As AI transforms the work, judgment, wisdom, creativity, resilience, and the capacity to hold meaning will remain the human differentiator.
