The most recent season of Boss Class focuses on artificial intelligence in the workplace and examines topics such as vibe coding, AI agents, entry-level job shifts for Gen Z, and the competitive advantages of humans over AI. Guests have included Prof Ethan Mollick, Tom Blomfield, Bret Taylor, and Sarah Guo.
