🎙️ Why AI Could Make Smart Teams Dangerously Alike

Artificial intelligence is changing how we work, think, and make decisions. But what if the biggest risk isn't that AI becomes smarter than humans? What if the real danger is that humans become too similar to each other?

In this episode, Mark Khater joins me to discuss one of the most fascinating AI concepts I've heard recently: Silent Coordination Failure.

As more people use the same AI systems, access the same information, and reach the same conclusions, organizations may unknowingly lose diversity of thought. Faster decisions can become worse decisions. Alignment can become groupthink. And highly intelligent teams can end up making catastrophic mistakes together.
We also discuss AI governance, regulation, investment management, human judgment, diversity of thought, and why trust remains uniquely human.
