    Will AI Replace Project Managers? What Changes in the AI Era

    Are you worried about how artificial intelligence is reshaping the future of project management and corporate risk? In this episode of the 10X AI with Julius Neil podcast, Julius is joined by Mariam Petrosyan, an operational risk leader in banking and a fellow member of the prestigious University of Oxford AI for Business cohort. Tune in as Mariam shares her 15 years of transformation experience to break down what project managers must do to stay relevant in 2026 and beyond. Discover why AI isn't here to replace project managers, but rather to shift them away from manual administration and into high-value strategic leadership. Key Takeaways You'll Discover: The Death of Administrative PM Work: How AI handles meeting summaries, initial plans, and status updates so you can focus on human judgment, negotiation, and relationships.The Dangers of the "AI Halo Effect": Why a polished, well-formatted AI response can be dangerously misleading in high-stakes operational risk and compliance environments.Mastering Prompt Engineering: Why treating prompts like a structured brief (defining roles, context, constraints, and outputs) is the secret to getting executive-ready results.The Agile vs. AI Trap: Why organizations must avoid blindly forcing AI into every workflow overnight, and how proper governance prevents data leaks and accountability gaps.

    AI’s Hardest Problem Isn’t What It Can Do — It’s What It Leaves Alone

    Why do most enterprise AI implementations fail? In this episode, we sit down with DataChi founder and product marketing leader Charif Mutaki to unpack the real bottleneck of artificial intelligence in business. Discover why the future of work isn't about maximizing tool automation, but understanding what intelligence systems should actively leave alone. We explore the shift from basic AI agents to autonomous virtual teammates (VTMs), how to solve the hidden costs of sales process friction, and why deciding what not to automate is the ultimate competitive advantage for modern organizations.

If you are a business leader, founder, or enterprise strategist looking to scale revenue without burning out your team, this conversation redefines how you should look at AI adoption.
