What is the premise of the episode and who are the hosts?
Next week on Leaders with me, Francine Lacqua, I speak with Harvard Business School Professor Linda Hill about what CEOs need to know to be successful.
It really is not about them. It is about the organization.
About how to lead in the age of AI.
That requires a lot of confidence.
And why great leaders embrace conflict. You need to amplify difference. Listen and watch Leaders the Podcast with me, Francine Lacqua on Bloomberg TV or wherever you get your podcasts.

This is everybody's business from Bloomberg Business Week. I'm Max Chafkin.
I'm Stacey Bennett Smith. And Max, I think the theme for this week is situationships.
I I don't know where this is going, but okay.
Situationships as in a relationship that's kind of messy, not entirely defined, source of a lot of drama. Situation ships.
All right, Stacey, I'm gonna work with you here because I think you're right a little bit. Like it it does kind of describe our situation with tariffs right now. Yes. Uh maybe they're awesome, maybe they're not, maybe they're legal, maybe they're not. We've got Joe Weisenthal of Bloomberg's Oddlots Podcast, uh, friend of the pod here talking markets and tariffs.
Also, the movie of the summer is Well, it's not in theaters, Max. It is on Netflix. The movie of the summer is on Netflix.
I'm so excited about this. I just want
to say the title. I know. The great Sam Sanders is here to talk. Go ahead.
K-pop Demon Hunters.
K-pop Demon Hunters. Max is very into this movie. And we'll talk with Sam about it.
And finally, I'm told it's pumpkin spice latte season now. Oh, I'm told fans love the flavor. It's everywhere. Nothing is complicated about that one, right, Stacey?
Except most of the ingredients are imported. So tariffs are complicating our relationship with pumpkin spice lattes. It's pumpkin spice tariff season. Now, I think right now in our economy, the ultimate situationship is between companies, workers and AI.
And we talked about this two weeks ago on the episode with Ed Zitron, which people should check out if they haven't listened to. There's all this promise with AI. We're all a lot of businesses are super excited about it. They're investing billions, in some cases tens of billions. That will be replaced by this technology in some cases. Right. We really don't know anything yet except we're all spending tons of money on it.
Yes. Well, and I think it things are changing really fast. And everyone's like, is this gonna take my job? Is this gonna help me do my job? But I thought I would go to students because they are tend to be more comfortable with new technology on the cutting edge, so to Columbia to NYU to kind of track down some students and ask them how they are using AI. And here's what they said. Do you guys use AI? Yes. All the time. All the time. We're actually AI students. Grad students? Really? Yes. What do you use it for?
Editing. So like if you write a paper, it could be like as simple as just like a text just to polish my language. Or just like some simple researches. I don't trust Gen AI on like super deep academic stuff yet. And what about like with schoolwork? Is it like a Big helper. It I would say take AI with a grain of salt because they make mistakes just like humans do as well. Always double check.
Honestly, it's basically the greatest cheat code for college. Like I'm not even kidding.
I do know a few people who have used AI or ChatGBT as kind of like a friend, like getting advice from. I agree, but I definitely think that other people might find more comfort in AI as a friend then what we might like to think. I study actually in the field of public health, I studied uh cancer and epidemiology. We're actually working with AI, like studying and working with it. With the rise of AI, like pretty much anything is possible. Yeah, I agree. Yeah. Oh my
god. Oh God. I'm so worried for our future.
Really?
The AI students? Well are they a are they AIs or are they actual people?
What do you mean?
Well, I just got worried for a second that you had interviewed like a couple of chatbots.
