In The Loop ·

2025/10/30

OpenAI has just launched its own AI browser, Atlas, sparking headlines about the “return of the browser wars” and speculation that Google might finally have a real challenger.

There’s a new workplace jargon floating around: AI workslop. Coined by Stanford researchers, it captures a growing frustration with AI-generated content that looks polished at first glance but falls apart upon second look. In this episode of In The Loop, I unpack what “ AI workslop” really means, its cost to organizations, and most importantly, question whether it's a tooling issue or a human problem.We’ll explore how the so-called “efficiency trap” is lowering quality standards at work, how

2025/07/31

AI is reshaping work while corporate learning stays stuck. Compliance-first courses, born after Enron and locked into SCORM, waste time and budget. Companies spend $340B a year; 70% is forgotten within 24 hours. As automation threatens up to 800M jobs by 2030, workers need real upskilling-personalised, in-the-flow coaching, triage by need, and conversational support- not “click next” modules.
