Emma Grede on the skill that beats AI in the business world.

0:00 in the last year where the world has exploded with AI.

0:04 How are you looking at it?

0:06 proponent of AI, but I also think there's two pieces of it.

0:08 Number one, from a business point of view,

0:10 you have to figure out what needs protecting.

0:12 Like, what are the things that uniquely deserve and require human touch.

0:18 I'm in a product-based business.

0:19 There is no AI that's going to tell me how well a bra is going to perform.

0:23 I need a lady for that or somebody with boobs.

0:25 You can't allow technologies or advancements to come

0:30 in and dictate the way that you do business.

0:32 So, inviting AI into our business is something that we're doing thoughtfully.

0:36 What is touching our customers and what's important to our customers?

0:39 That gets protected.

0:40 Product gets protected.

0:41 Design and concept gets protected.

0:43 And everything else should be lifted up with AI.

0:47 But, if you ask me if I was like a teenager or in college right now,

0:51 I think the advice is not that different.

0:53 Learn to be a great learner.

0:55 Because it doesn't matter if I'm hiring like

0:57 a 21-year-old kid right now or a 55-year-old veteran,

1:00 what I value is flexibility of thought.

1:03 I need you to be able to take what it is you

1:05 know and think something different tomorrow

1:08 and adapt to what's happening quickly, right?

1:11 And so, you have to love to learn.

1:14 It's like, care the most.

1:16 Be the most curious.

1:18 Be the most flexible.

1:20 Never think you know everything.

1:21 And stay super, super open.

1:23 Cuz as things change, we need to be open to that.

1:26 And that flexibility piece is what I love the most because they're

1:29 the people that I see like winning over and over and over again.
