AI Won’t Replace Humans, But Bad Leadership Might | Stephanie Sylvestre
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Will AI replace people, or will poor leadership create the real damage?
In Episode #103 of Pre-Zero Sports Talk, Sid Bensalah sits down with Stephanie Sylvestre, CEO and Co-Founder of Avatar Buddy AI, for a human-centered conversation about AI, leadership, layoffs, entrepreneurship, community, and the future of work.
Stephanie explains why AI should amplify people rather than replace them, how digital mentors and AI agents can support self-esteem and self-agency, and why the erosion of the middle class is one of the biggest risks in the AI era.
This episode explores human-centered AI, AI and leadership, job displacement and layoffs, digital mentors, AI in education and farming, entrepreneurship, women in AI, deepfakes, community trust, and the kind of future we are building.
