"We have no choice but to AI-proof our careers,"
"I am encouraging every single-specifically women-in my organization to do exactly the same," Grede said. "We don't have a choice anymore. It's like do or die."
"I was already kind of getting there, but if I'm really honest, that episode where we really delved into AI gave me a new urgency around how I use AI,"
"I need to figure this out, because I'm using AI like a 42-year-old woman,"
AI fluency is becoming a baseline expectation across industries and is boosting salaries for some job seekers with technology experience. Emma Grede schedules an "AI day" every six weeks to sit and learn about the technology. Grede urges every woman in her organization to adopt dedicated AI learning routines to remain competitive. A conversation with Mark Cuban accelerated Grede's urgency after he demonstrated heavy personal AI use. Grede began exploring AI courses at Wharton and Harvard to deepen skills. Grede maintains a focus on human connection in dealmaking while integrating AI into business practices.
