November 7, 2025: AI is rewriting the world of work. This episode covers the major shifts making headlines today: Elon Musk's warning of a "supersonic tsunami" of job losses, record-breaking layoffs across U.S. companies, and Italy's landmark move to regulate how employers use AI. Microsoft's mass cuts are testing the myth of job security, while Airbus redefines HR as the architects of the future. Meanwhile, the New York Times argues the AI apocalypse isn't here yet—it's just reshaping how companies restructure—and Bloomberg reports the worst October for job cuts in over two decades. Together, these stories reveal a deeper trend: AI isn't simply automating work, it's exposing whether leaders can adapt fast enough to build trust, design new roles, and keep the human experience at the center of progress.

Wes Ott covers today's top tech stories. WhatsApp launches a new app for Apple Watch. OpenAI introduces Aardvark, a new agentic AI designed for autonomous cybersecurity research and monitoring. Microsoft unveils a new AI companion in its Copilot Fall Release Event.

Identity defines and shapes us all - and if we don't know who we are - or don't accept who we are, it is easy to feel lost and even harder to see a way forward. Dan Te Whenua Walker is a child of two cultures - born to a Scottish father and a Maori mother, growing up he says he struggled to find a sense of belonging. But the love and support of his kuia - on both sides of his family - helped to connect him to his roots and set him on the right path. Dan, of Ngati Ruanui, is now Senior Partner Development Manager and the first global co-chair for Indigenous at Microsoft - a group that empowers employees to share, support and celebrate indigenous culture. He talks to Mihingarangi about finding his place in the world - and his plan to shape AI using Te Ao Maori.

From ophthalmology to testicle jokes, this episode covers a lot. I'm talking about why physicians should be allowed to own hospitals, the internet debate over vision therapy, and the truth about whether your eyes can actually pop out if you sneeze too hard. Plus, I share the one time an ophthalmologist asked a patient to drop his pants and why professional athletes might be missing out by skipping regular eye exams. Takeaways: Why physician-owned hospitals might actually provide better and cheaper care. The truth about “vision therapy” and why evidence-based medicine still matters. What really happens if you sneeze with your eyes open (and no, they don't explode). How Lyme disease and screen time can both affect your vision in unexpected ways. Why getting your eyes checked could change your game, literally, if you're a pro athlete.

In this episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, Michael speaks with AI strategist and author Steff about the real-world impact of artificial intelligence on the workforce. Together, they challenge the common narrative that AI is replacing human jobs and explore how leaders can adopt AI responsibly without losing sight of the human element. AI's Limited Impact on the Workforce Steff shares her concerns about companies prematurely laying off employees under the guise of AI adoption, emphasizing that today's AI lacks the depth to truly replace people. Michael echoes this sentiment, noting that many organizations are jumping into AI initiatives without understanding the implications. Both agree that while AI will transform the workforce over time, we're far from a reality where machines can replace human intelligence and empathy. Rethinking Employment Dynamics Michael and Steff dive into the nuances of AI's effect on employment. While automation can replace certain tasks, it often leads to cost-cutting rather than meaningful innovation. Steff highlights how AI can reduce repetitive work, freeing humans to focus on creativity and strategy. The two also compare cultural differences between North America and Europe—where stronger work-life balance and social systems offer a healthier framework for integrating technology into work. AI as a Productivity Partner The conversation shifts to the potential of AI as a collaboration tool. Michael explains how AI-powered note-taking and workflow tools can enhance meetings by freeing up cognitive space and improving documentation. Steff and Michael agree that AI democratizes access to powerful tools, empowering individuals to be more productive, even as organizations struggle to integrate these systems effectively. Context Is the New Skillset Steff introduces a fascinating idea—the rise of the “context engineer.” As businesses rely on AI, she argues that human understanding of nuance, culture, and emotional intelligence will become essential to guide AI systems effectively. Context engineers will bridge the gap between data and human meaning, ensuring AI remains a support, not a substitute. What AI Can't Replace Drawing from her book Being Replaced, Steff outlines five uniquely human skills that AI cannot automate: flexible thinking, emotional intelligence, collective intelligence, intuition, and true innovation. She underscores that while AI can simulate emotion or pattern recognition, it cannot create, connect, or empathize as humans do. Michael reinforces that innovation and adaptability have always been the cornerstones of human progress. AI as a Tool for Human Enhancement The episode closes on an optimistic note. Steff discusses her open-source framework for using AI intelligently and invites listeners to explore her resources on her website and GitHub. Together, Michael and Steff remind us that AI should be viewed not as a threat, but as a powerful enhancement tool that amplifies human capability, creativity, and connection. Listen now to discover how to lead in the age of AI without losing what makes us human. For more insights on leadership, burnout prevention, and workplace culture, visit BreakfastLeadership.com/blog.   Steff Vanhaverbeke - The "Superworker" Revolution   While 76% of professionals are drowning in AI overwhelm, Steff discovered how to use AI to prevent burnout instead of causing it. Her "Superworker" methodology helps leaders achieve 3x productivity without working harder by building an "AI Second Brain."   Starting as a graphic designer in 1993 during the web's emergence, she now coaches professionals at Microsoft, Deloitte, and PwC. Her recent webinar to 400 people generated feedback like "This is exactly what I needed, not another technical course, but insights and ways to get a grip on AI with my team."   Possible discussion topics: AI leadership without burnout Cognitive agility for leaders Guiding teams through tech transformation The five levels of AI adoption (from overwhelmed to empowered) Building psychological safety during technological change Why human skills become more valuable as AI handles routine work

From IBM and Microsoft to serving as Chief Business Officer at Google X, Mo Gawdat has spent over three decades at the forefront of technology and innovation. Today, the bestselling author turns his engineer's mind toward life's biggest question: how can we live well and meaningfully in an age defined by artificial intelligence? This monumental 2.5 hour episode, which Mo Islam called “the best I've ever shot”, is a journey through life, loss, and the future of humanity.Mo Gawdat opens up about his late son Ali and the lessons that inspired ‘Solve for Happy', before diving into the decade of disruption ahead: from the rise of AI and autonomous weapons to universal basic income and the impending economic reset. Together, the two Mo's explore why Arabs are so misunderstood in the West, how ethical AI must be grounded in love and empathy, and how the Middle East can lead the next wave of innovation.  They challenge the failures of modern education, the grip of the military-industrial complex, and even the mysteries of the space-time continuum, all while searching for meaning in what Mo calls the “legendary level” of modern life. A very big thanks to Merwas Studios in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for inviting us to shoot in their WORLD CLASS Studios! 00:00 Intro03:18 IBM, Microsoft & Google X05:07 Losing Ali: The Moment Everything Changed09:27 Writing Solve for Happy11:41 Leaving Google & Launching “1 Billion Happy”13:35 Living with Loss17:05 Fate, Life & the Interconnectedness of Everything23:04 Death as the Opposite of Birth26:02 The Video Game of Life31:23 Ali's Death & Mo's Purpose34:53 Redefining Success: Impact over Ego38:54 Learning, Curiosity & Creation44:08 Solitude & Silent Retreats49:01 Meditation Practices55:13 Mindfulness in Daily Life57:06 The Loneliness Epidemic1:01:02 East vs. West: Community vs. Individualism1:05:10 Surveillance, Privacy & the Illusion of Security1:08:11 Raising Children in a Broken World1:11:03 The Collapse of Capitalism & the Rise of AI1:21:16 China vs. The West1:24:06 The Illusion of Stock Markets & Institutional Control1:30:03 War Economics: How Weapons Drive Profit1:35:19 Humanity's Awakening & Questioning the System1:41:08 Reclaiming the Arab Narrative1:47:27 Building Ethical AI1:52:18 Entrepreneurship, Self-Reliance & Believing in the Region2:00:03 Education is Broken2:07:03 Business vs. Capitalism: Purpose Over Profit2:10:00 Reclaiming Global Perception2:17:13 Governance, Fairness & Leadership in the Arab World2:22:06 Living in Uncertain Times2:25:17 The Ultimate Video Game of Life2:26:57 Closing Reflections

Amazon has initiated legal action against Perplexity AI, alleging that the startup's AI browser improperly accesses Amazon customer accounts by mimicking human browsing behavior. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, raises concerns about security risks associated with Perplexity's Comet browser. Amazon claims that this practice undermines customer experience and its curated shopping services. In response, Perplexity asserts that Amazon is leveraging its market dominance to stifle competition, emphasizing that user credentials are stored locally and not on their servers.In a related development, Microsoft researchers have introduced a new simulation environment called the Magentic Marketplace, aimed at evaluating the performance of AI agents. This initiative, developed in collaboration with Arizona State University, highlights vulnerabilities in current agentic models, particularly their ability to operate unsupervised and respond to complex scenarios. Initial experiments revealed that as customer agents faced increased options, their efficiency declined due to information overload, raising concerns about the practical application of AI agents in real-world settings.Additional updates include Netrix Global's acquisition of Ricoh's U.S. IT services business, marking Ricoh's exit from the managed services sector. This acquisition is expected to enhance Netrix's offerings and geographic reach, particularly in the Northeast and Southeast regions of the United States. Furthermore, several product announcements aimed at improving operational efficiency for MSPs were made, including Movila's Project Hub for project management and Huntress's support for Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification compliance.For MSPs and IT service leaders, these developments underscore the importance of governance and compliance in the deployment of AI technologies. The legal dispute between Amazon and Perplexity highlights the need for clarity around user data handling and the implications of automated systems. Additionally, the acquisition of Ricoh's IT services by Netrix serves as a reminder of the challenges in the managed services market, emphasizing the necessity for specialization and operational efficiency. Vendors are increasingly recognizing the need to provide practical support tools that enhance operational capabilities rather than merely offering security solutions.Four things to know today00:00 Amazon Says Perplexity's AI Went Too Far — and Microsoft Just Proved Why Agents Still Struggle04:26 Ricoh's Out, Netrix Is In — Another Big Shift in the MSP Landscape06:18 Three New AI Tools Drop for MSPs—But Only One Might Actually Matter09:20 Project Templates, Compliance Docs, and Pay-as-You-Go: Vendors Focus on MSP Basics This is the Business of Tech.

A CMO Confidential Interview with Mike Walrath, Chairman and CEO of Yext, Inc., formerly CEO of Right Media, and SVP at Yahoo! Mike discusses what he believes is the collapse of the marketing funnel, the need to understand how AI consumes data while judgement stays with consumers, and how an "influence marketing" mindset is emerging. Key topics include: why CMOs will need to be both great brand strategists as well as scientists, the need to constantly distribute information and "tend it like a garden," and why Reddit is great for training AI, but not as important in building brand influence. Tune in to hear a story about why you shouldn't let ChatGPT talk in an unsupervised forum and why Land Rover should send me a polo shirt. This week, Mike Linton sits down with Mike Walrath, Chairman & CEO of @yext (and founder of WGI Group), to unpack why the classic awareness–consideration–conversion funnel is collapsing—and what CMOs must do next. From zero-click discovery and AI agents “front-ending” consumers to why structured first-party data now beats pretty websites, Walrath maps the new rules for brand, distribution, and measurement in an AI-led marketplace.We cover: how consideration gets outsourced to AI, why marketers will “market to agents” (without controlling the ad copy), the coming arms race in citations and data distribution, and what organizational fixes boards and CMOs should make now. If you own brand, growth, or P&L accountability, this is a playbook for the next chapter.**Sponsor — @typefaceai Typeface helps the world's biggest brands move from brief to fully personalized campaigns in hours, not months.

When a pair of high-profile internet outages took down large chunks of the internet last month, the events briefly brought hundreds of organizations to a near-halt and prevented millions of users from accessing core services for everyday business needs. From Starbucks to crypto exchanges to the messaging app Signal, the outages rippled across nearly every sector, shining a spotlight onto the country's — and even the government's — reliance on a mere handful of cloud service providers. In the wake of those incidents, watchdog groups are calling on federal regulators to scrutinize the role that massive cloud companies like Amazon and Microsoft play in owning and maintaining much of our collective backend IT infrastructure. Meanwhile, technology and cybersecurity experts point out that, because of financial and business realities, there are very few alternatives to the large companies that now dominate the market. The Amazon Web Services outage began Oct. 19 and lasted into Oct. 20. According to Amazon's post-mortem, a single software bug in DynamoDB — the system that manages website addresses, along with efforts to repair it — caused all services in the Northern Virginia region that relied on the tool to go down for 15 hours. Just over a week later, Microsoft's Azure cloud platform experienced an outage impacting several of its services. According to Microsoft, an “inadvertent tenant configuration change” occurred in Azure Front Door, the company's content delivery network. The outages exposed just how fragile the country's digital infrastructure is and showed the risks of letting a few companies hold so much power. As a result, some groups are urging federal regulators to address the issue. Federal agencies would be required to report artificial intelligence-related layoffs to the Department of Labor under a new bill from a bipartisan pair of senators. The AI-Related Job Impacts Clarity Act from Sens. Mark Warner, D-Va., and Josh Hawley, R-Mo., calls on agencies and major companies to deliver quarterly reports to DOL on the impact AI has on their workforces, detailing job cuts and displacements. Hawley said in a press release“Artificial intelligence is already replacing American workers, and experts project AI could drive unemployment up to 10-20% in the next five years. The American people need to have an accurate understanding of how AI is affecting our workforce, so we can ensure that AI works for the people, not the other way around.” The bill would also require agencies and companies to report hirings that can be “substantially” credited to AI, as well as the number of individuals they are retraining because of AI. There's also a callout to keep track of open positions an agency or company decided not to fill because of automation. The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

News and Updates: New research from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory finds rising U.S. electricity prices stem from aging infrastructure, costly parts, and natural disasters — not AI or data centers. Brave Software exposed vulnerabilities in AI browsers like Perplexity's Comet and Fellou, showing hidden text in images can trigger prompt-injection hacks that access user data. AI search tools from Google, OpenAI, and others surface less popular websites than traditional search, broadening source diversity and fueling a new field called “Answer Engine Optimization.” PayPal will integrate directly into ChatGPT via OpenAI's new Agentic Commerce Protocol, enabling users to chat, shop, and pay without leaving the platform starting in 2026. Microsoft's Mustafa Suleyman reaffirmed that Copilot won't engage in romance or erotic chats, emphasizing emotionally intelligent but “boundaried” AI designed for safety and family use. OpenAI finalized its conversion to a public-benefit corporation valued at $130 billion, giving Microsoft a 27% stake and pushing its market cap above $4 trillion as the firms deepen cooperation.
