## Resource

AI adoption is reshaping the workplace — but are people actually ready, and are the systems around them keeping up? In this episode, Shervin is joined by Georgia Barnasa, Microsoft Cognitive AI Architect based in Switzerland, to unpack what Microsoft's 2026 Work Trend Index really reveals about how organizations and individuals are navigating this shift. From the role of manager support in driving AI readiness, to why authenticity may become the most valuable human skill in an AI-saturated world, this conversation goes deep on the human side of AI.
