In this episode, Poornima Farrar, Chief Product Officer at Rival, shares how product teams can responsibly introduce AI into high-trust workflows, where automation creates meaningful value, and why trust, transparency, and human oversight remain essential ingredients for successful AI adoption. For product leaders, founders, and HR technology professionals, this conversation offers a thoughtful look at the opportunities and tradeoffs shaping the future of work.

The conversation covers AI literacy, behavior change, product adoption, the future of education technology, and why the winners in the AI era may be the organizations that learn how to redesign workflows—not just implement new tools.
