This week I’ve been in Asia and in this podcast I describe how Japan’s economic history teaches us about AI transformation in our careers and our companies. I also describe my experience using Galileo on my 7 hour flight from Japan to Singapore.

Takeaways
  • Why has Japan’s economy has stagnated since the mid-80s.
  • The aging population poses significant workforce challenges.
  • Cultural beliefs in lifelong employment hold us back
  • Wages in Japan are tied to tenure rather than performance.
  • Companies must encourage experimentation to leverage AI.
  • The integration of AI is a continuous process, not a one-time event.
  • Access to information is revolutionizing decision-making in business.
  • Language barriers are diminishing with technology.
  • Embracing AI is essential for future career success.
