We wake up in a fast-paced world, and sometimes 24 hours isn’t enough.  

But what if you could get back an extra hour each week? What would you do with it?  

I bet most of us will do what we love.  Perhaps become a better spouse, parent, or friend.  

Or pursue bigger things and spend an hour less treated like a ticket.  

That’s when the power of AI comes in.  

Today’s episode is not a typical discussion about AI because our guest, Dan Turchin, CEO and Founder of PeopleReign, will tell us what the future could be with the help of AI. 

Meet the tech powerhouse and AI aficionado, Dan Turchin! As the CEO and Founder of PeopleReign, he's revolutionizing employee service automation with his leading AI platform. He's also a member of the Forbes Technology Council and the host of the wildly popular podcast show AI and the Future of Work. But wait, there's more! Before PeopleReign, he was at the helm of InsightFinder, the AIOps leader, and co-founded Astound, an AI-first enterprise platform for HR and IT. Oh, and did we mention he's served as Chief Product Officer at Fortinet and a Senior Director of Product Strategy at ServiceNow? This guy's tech cred is off the charts. But he's not just a tech genius, Dan's also an active angel investor and startup advisor with over 30 companies in his portfolio. He's passionate about building great teams and great products that solve hard problems and change lives. And when he's not crushing it in the tech world, he's likely cheering on youth soccer, indulging in some adventure sports, or reading Asimov and Dr. Seuss. Dan's got a BS and BA from Stanford University, so he's got the smarts to back up his incredible tech journey. 

A, for Augmented Not Artificial 

 “If we could build like a great big digital brain that like personal concierge that would be awesome. You've got like your companion brain that gets smarter all the time and is just there to assist you, to make you like the best version...That's our vision for the future of work, for the future of humanity.” --- Dan Turchin 

Gen Z is known for being great consumers of new technologies, like AI and machine learning, without necessarily understanding how they work.  

Imagine walking into the office and the walls knowing who you are, making your job easier.  

The mundane tasks that create friction between employees and employers disappear, giving employees an hour back to do more of what they love.  

Dan Turchin emphasizes the end goal is to bring impact to the next billion employees and make work life more human. 

Transforming Life, Enhancing Capabilities 

 Imagine being able to travel the world and understand every language without even speaking it. Sounds like science fiction, right?  

But with the rapid advancements in technology, it's becoming a reality. 

The only impediments to this technology were storage problems, bandwidth, and data training, but now those are rapidly being solved. 

Augmentation is a huge part of this... 

“There's amazing research in AI that's going into the augmentation of capabilities that we thought, we thought there was a limit to what we could do as humans, now we realize there's no limit and its augmented intelligence that's helping us realize that.” --- Dan Turchin 

Not only does it save time and accelerate outputs, but it also helps people with disabilities, too. 

Futuristic Perspectives 

Doing what you love is what makes you the best version of yourself. 

Dan delves into the vision and the future of work, and how it's shifting towards a work net rather than a traditional workforce.  

Basically, people will be stitching together gigs and part-time roles doing things they love, rather than being stuck in a role they hate for 40 hours a week.  

Project-based versus role-based... 

“Gen Z has done an amazing job of starting to remind employers who has the power, and who has the power is the one generating the value for the customer, and that's the worker in the work.” --- Dan Turchin 

Where employers are starting to realize that the power lies with the worker, who generates value for the company.  

This isn't just a technology story. It's not about making smaller chips or augmented reality glasses.  

It's about creating a world where people can do what they love and be the best version of themselves.
