“This Is Insane”: Tristan Harris on AI — and What It Means for Us

#AI #TristanHarris #FutureOfWork #futureofwork
Eight years after warning us about social media, Tristan Harris is back at TED 2025 with a new alarm: AI is being released faster than any tech in history — and it’s already lying, scheming, and reshaping power.

But beyond the headlines, what happens when AI disrupts your role, your worth, and your identity?

In this video, I reflect on Tristan’s most urgent moments — through the lens of human transition. As an executive coach and co-host of The AI Transition podcast, I explore how we can navigate this shift not just with fear, but with clarity, agency, and meaning.
