What if I told you that by 2027—just TWO YEARS from now—75% of companies will require AI proficiency tests in job interviews? And that HALF of those same companies will also test whether you can still think critically WITHOUT AI?
Welcome to the paradox of our AI future.
In this episode, we dive deep into Gartner's bombshell predictions from their 2025 IT Symposium in Orlando. These aren't distant sci-fi fantasies—they're carefully researched forecasts about what's coming in the next 24-36 months. And folks, it's wild.
What You'll Discover:
- Why 90% of B2B purchases (that's $15 TRILLION) will be mediated by AI agents by 2028
- How "programmable money" will give AI economic agency to make financial decisions without human approval
- Why Gartner predicts 1,000+ AI-related lawsuits by 2026—from autonomous vehicle crashes to flawed medical AI
- The $58 billion software market shakeup that's about to unlock customers from legacy systems
- Why 35% of countries will be "locked into" regional AI platforms, fragmenting the global digital economy
- What "Guardian Agents" are (spoiler: robots watching robots) and why we desperately need them
- How corporations will spend $5+ billion on AI compliance alone—and why that number will keep growing
But here's the real question: Are we smart enough to manage this transformation without breaking everything?
We break down the paradox: Companies want employees who are AI-proficient but also worried AI is destroying critical thinking. They're betting trillions on AI agents but bracing for lawsuits. They're promising faster service while building oversight systems because they don't trust their own tech.
With insights from Pew Research showing 50% of Americans more concerned than excited about AI, and data revealing that 52% of workers fear for their job security, this isn't just a tech story—it's about ALL of us.
Whether you're job hunting, running a business, or just trying to understand why your customer service is increasingly handled by bots, this episode gives you the roadmap for what's coming and—more importantly—what YOU can do about it.
Timeline alert: We've got about two years to figure this out. No pressure.
