What if AI could actually make us better listeners, stronger critical thinkers, and more effective problem-solvers?
We hear plenty about how artificial intelligence is changing the way we work. But much of that conversation focuses on what AI can do for us. What if we started asking what AI could help us learn to do better?
In this episode of Collaborative Culture, Kristine and Monica welcome John Biske, founder of Support Savvy, who spent 27 years at Fidelity Investments working across technology, risk management, and information management before discovering a new passion for agentic AI.
Together with his husband, Dwayne, an adjunct professor at Northeastern University, John developed an innovative AI-powered learning tool that turns traditional case studies into interactive experiences. Instead of asking AI to complete their assignments, students interview AI-generated business executives with distinct personalities, navigate challenging conversations, practice critical thinking, and receive personalized feedback on how they can improve.
It's a fascinating example of AI being used not to replace human capabilities, but to develop them.
And the possibilities extend far beyond the classroom.
John shares how agentic AI could transform organizational learning, decision-making, knowledge sharing, and communication. Imagine AI assistants that help employees develop new skills, identify important changes across an organization, and make sure the right people have the right information when they need it.
Of course, with those opportunities come important questions about trust, oversight, privacy, and the guardrails organizations need to put in place.
In this conversation, we explore:
This episode is about more than an exciting new technology. It's about reimagining how we teach, learn, lead, and work together.
Because the real opportunity with AI may not be doing more work with fewer people. It may be helping people do better work.
Join us for a thought-provoking conversation about what happens when we put human learning and development at the center of technological innovation.
