Back in the 50s, Alan Turing came up with an idea.

If you couldn't tell if you were talking to a machine or a human, it meant the machine must be intelligent.

He coined the Turing test.

Today, most chatbots pass the test easily.

But here's the catch.

I believe the test was wrong.

Because talking isn't what's going to change the world.

Doing is.

That's why I ask a slightly different question to the leaders I work with.

On a daily basis, my role is to reshape organizations, trying to find the right mix of strategy, tech and talent.

And my obsession is to make sure that talents do not get out of the equation.

So the question I ask my clients is, if an AI could take over all of your team's tasks, who would you keep and why?

That question is strategic.

And the answer matters to me not just intellectually, but because I have two daughters at home.

They're five and nine.

And right now, they feel invincible.

But I keep wondering, what is the world of work they will step into?

We need to build a future where humans matter more, not less.

Now, let me try to illustrate how this is playing out in the field.

A consumer goods client of mine is all in on AI.
