In this episode, Mihir Shukla, CEO and Chairman of Automation Anywhere, shares what it takes to build an autonomous enterprise—where AI doesn't just assist work, but actually does it. With over 300 million AI agents already running on their platform, Mihir argues the future of work isn't ahead of us—it's unfolding now.We explore how Automation Anywhere is reimagining its own operations, automating everything from tax to customer service, and how other companies can do the same. Mihir shares a playbook for identifying high-impact automation opportunities and overcoming the cultural inertia that holds teams back.The conversation also zooms out: from the global productivity crisis and shrinking workforce to the ethical responsibility of upskilling at scale. Mihir shares powerful stories from communities that went from minimum wage to six-figure AI careers in just months—and reminds us what's at stake if we don't move fast.If you're rethinking how work gets done, this episode is a blueprint for what's possible.Key Takeaways:Don't Wait for the Future of Work—Build It - Mihir's team is already running 300 million AI agents across global enterprises. From automating 90% of tax operations to generating CEO-ready briefings on the fly, he shows how much of today's work can be autonomous—and how fast it's scaling.Stalled Productivity? AI Is the Only Way Through - Despite $40 trillion in global IT spend, productivity hasn't improved since 2008—and now the workforce is shrinking. Mihir argues that doubling productivity isn't a moonshot—it's an economic necessity, and AI is our best shot.Change Doesn't Come from the Top—It Starts with Teams - Transformation doesn't begin in the boardroom. Mihir shares how just 2 out of 10 employees experimenting with AI can ignite org-wide momentum—if they're given ambitious goals, proper training, and permission to lead.Upskill the World, One Community at a Time - From the Mississippi Delta to Nepal, Mihir's upskilling efforts prove that AI fluency doesn't require a degree—just access. With the right training, someone flipping burgers can land a $120K AI job in three months. Talent is everywhere.

Today's episode features a crossover from ABA's brand new podcast series: ABA Fraudcast: Cyber and Fraud with Paul Benda. Community banks can be targets of large-scale fraud, just like larger banks. On the inaugural episode of the ABA Fraudcast, former ABA Chair Dan Robb, president and CEO of Jonesburg State Bank in Missouri, describes the recent targeting of his bank by fraudsters who texted thousands of residents of his community, seeking access to customer accounts. What followed for Robb and his team were fast lessons on all the areas his bank was prepared for, and a few challenges that were surprising. “We are no longer dealing with a mom-and-pop criminal,” says ABA's Paul Benda, Fraudcast host. “This is institutional crime.” To find the ABA Fraudcast, visit aba.com/fraudcast or look for it in your favorite podcast app.

Established in 1987 by former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, the Rosalynn Carter Institute promotes the health, strength, and resilience of caregivers at every stage of their journey. As Mandy Barr, a caregiver coach and engagement specialist at the Institute, eloquently explained, the organization is dedicated to supporting caregivers from all backgrounds—whether they are military, veteran, or civilian families.One of the standout aspects of the Rosalynn Carter Institute's approach is its focus on addressing the complexities and nuances of caregiving. Through research-backed programs and resources, the Institute aims to provide tailored support that meets each caregiver's unique needs. The Institute offers valuable tools, such as the preparedness guide, which helps caregivers, especially those in military families, prepare for emergencies and disasters. By training first responders on these resources, the Rosalynn Carter Institute ensures that caregivers and their loved ones receive the support they need during challenging times.About Mandy:Mandy was born and raised in Plains, GA and earned her Bachelor of Arts in Dramatic Arts with a minor in English in 2004 from Georgia Southwestern State University.
