Working with AI: Lessons from software's head start

In an October 26 talk at a dinner hosted by With Coverage, the speaker explored parallels between AI adoption in software engineering and financial knowledge work, using Excel as finance's equivalent of the IDE to map four stages: AI assists, collaborates, executes, and coordinates. The talk notes these are broad generalizations but argues software's head start offers useful clues about where non-programming knowledge work workflows may be headed and how individuals and organizations can prepare. Slides and a PDF are available.
