Congress is going to do with such a complicated topic that everybody's coming up to speed on?

Not well, Dan.

Next question.

Welcome back to The Intelligence Shift.

Let's start the conversation.

So welcome to the Intelligence Shift, and thank you for being here.

Glad to be here, Dan.

It's a big topic, and before we delve right in, we'd love to get to know you a little bit better.

According to the FT, some recruiters are warning that failing to hire juniors today puts a company's existence at risk within 15 years.

Dan Priest, the chief AI officer at PwC, told The Economist that the structure might eventually shift to an hourglass, where AI hollows out middle management, essentially the opposite of what we're seeing today.

This would allow AI-native graduates to leapfrog into leadership.

However, that optimism does rely on an entry mechanism that currently appears to be broken, and I'm not sure how likely this is.

So we spent a few months looking for the sound and looking for a producer.

We went through a guy called Dan Priest.

He made some demos.

I made some demos with Rupert Hine as well, who was Howard Jones' producer, which I loved.
