    The Future of Consulting Is 99% AI. Are You Ready? | Yugen x Nimrod Vromen

    In this thought-provoking episode, Yugen sits down with Nimrod Vromen - a legal mind turned AI innovator - to explore the shifting tides of artificial intelligence in the world of consulting and beyond. From courtroom strategy to multi-agent systems, Nimrod shares his journey and insights into how AI is reshaping the foundations of professional services. Together, they unpack the power of contextual prompts, the rise of platform-based innovation, and why AI is no longer just about the model - but the experience it enables. But this conversation goes deeper than tech. Yugen and Nimrod tackle the emotional gap between AI and human consciousness, question the role of purpose in an automated world, and debate whether AI can ever truly "feel." They dive into ethical dilemmas, the evolution of education, and the very nature of identity in a machine-driven future. 💡 Key Takeaways: Nimrod's journey from law to leading-edge AI. How AI is transforming consulting and redefining value. The critical role of multi-agent systems and prompt engineering. AI’s ability to mimic human behavior - and why it still can’t feel. Why traditional education and consulting models must evolve. GROK vs. other LLMs: does it feel more human? The future of work: humans as supervisors, not doers. How to stay grounded through self-prompting and emotional resilience. This isn’t just a conversation about AI - it’s a reflection on what it means to be human in an era of intelligent machines.
