## Resource

Dilip Chetan spent 20+ years inside Google, Meta, Oracle, and Salesforce — including working on AI infrastructure at Google — and now helps professionals and organizations find their Defensible Zone: the intersection of natural strengths and what the market still needs from humans that AI cannot replace yet. In this episode, Robin and Dilip unpack why the obvious question ("what can't AI do?") leads people in the wrong direction, the critical difference between natural affinity and passion, and what the localization and language services industry needs to understand about AI displacement right now.
