    Episode 3 - AI, Skills, and the Judgment Gap

    As organizations race to adopt AI and build skills-based talent strategies, most conversations focus on automation, efficiency, and what technology can do better than humans.  This episode takes a different perspective. Host Nyla Reed explores the capabilities that become more important in an AI-enabled workplace. From emotional intelligence and ethical decision-making to trust, context, and sensemaking, she examines why the future of talent management depends as much on human judgment as it does on technological advancement.  Drawing from a real-world example of AI misuse in a client interaction, Nyla challenges listeners to think beyond automation and consider a more important question:  As AI gets better, what human capabilities become indispensable?  Chapters  00:00 Episode Introduction 01:35 AI Gone Wrong: A Real Example 03:06 AI is a Force Multiplier, Not a Decision-Maker 04:56 The Importance of Context in Talent Decisions 07:51 Human Skill #1: Emotional Intelligence 08:49 Human Skill #2: Judgment 12:10 Human Skill #3: Building Trust & Relationships 13:58 Human Skill #4: Sense Making 15:21 AI’s Role: Enhancing and Supporting, Not Replacing Human Skills 16:25 What Will AI Never Replace in Talent Management? 17:13 The Real Risk of AI: Failing to Invest in Human Capability 17:52 Summary and Wrap-Up
