AI is the New Gold Rush – But Most People Are Still Digging in the Wrong Place

Everyone's racing toward AI right now. And I get it – the promise is real.

But here's what I'm seeing: most companies are asking the wrong question.

They're asking: "How do we cut costs?"

When they should be asking: "How do we make our best people unstoppable?"

Look, I'm not against efficiency. But if your entire AI strategy is about trimming headcount and automating people out of jobs, you're missing the actual treasure.

The companies that are really winning with AI? They're not using it as a replacement machine. They're using it as a multiplier.

They're automating the boring 30% so their teams can focus on the valuable 70%.

They're giving every employee superpowers they didn't have six months ago.

They're accelerating workflows, not eliminating them.

And the results speak for themselves:

- More innovation
- Faster execution
- Better customer experiences
- Happier, more empowered teams

Human + AI = The real gold rush

AI paired with talented humans will outperform AI alone every single time.

If your AI strategy starts with "How do we shrink?" you're digging in the wrong place.

Start with "How do we make our best people 10× more effective?" – that's where the gold is.

So, my question to you is, are you building an AI strategy that unlocks value, or one that just shrinks it?
