Send us Fan MailWhat if the reason your organisation isn't adopting AI has nothing to do with the technology? In this episode, I sit down with Zoe Walters. She is the co-founder of Empower AI, PhD researcher, and former Chief People Officer at Condé Nast - to unpack why AI adoption is really a human psychology problem, and what leaders can do about it.Zoe's benchmark survey of HR professionals found that only 16% were actively using AI in 2025. One year later, that figure jumped to over 80%. So what changed and what's still holding people back?We cover everything from the fear and resistance that stops people engaging with AI, to why HR needs to radically simplify its role, to the inner work that separates great leaders from everyone else in a fast-moving world.If you work in HR, lead a team, or are trying to figure out your place in the age of AI, this conversation is for you.
