Wharton professor: 4 scenarios for AI's future | Ethan Mollick for Big Think+
Big Think. A tight 8-minute version of Mollick's "four scenarios" model — static, linear, exponential, AGI — and why teams should plan against scenario two or three rather than betting everything on either extreme. Useful when you're trying to get a leadership team to agree on what they're actually preparing for before you write the playbook.
AI Expert note
Use it as a leadership alignment tool: eight minutes that get a room to agree which scenario it's planning for before anyone writes the playbook.
What you should get from this
Use multiple AI future scenarios to plan adoption without betting the company on one forecast.

HubSpot AcademyAI-Driven Customer Service
Brenna Zenaty, Adriti Gulati
Closes our biggest vertical blind spot: nothing in the catalog spoke directly to support and customer-success teams. HubSpot Academy is free, well-produced, and refreshingly concrete — it walks through AI-assisted ticket triage and a knowledge-base agent rather than staying abstract, and the certificate is free too, not a paywall bait-and-switch.
