Podcast: Takes On Talent: AI Hype, What Is Moltbook, and Is Something BIG Happening?

In this episode, Oz Rashid breaks down the accelerating AI race, recent executive shakeups at major AI labs, and what it all means for business leaders and the workforce. He explores the difference between AI hype and enterprise reality, the “February 2020 moment” analogy, and why technology adoption rarely moves as fast as capability. Oz also dives into the emerging workforce paradox: companies claiming overcapacity in traditional roles while struggling to find AI-skilled talent. The message is clear — this is not a fear conversation. It’s a leadership conversation.
