A quiet anxiety follows many professionals: will AI replace me, or redefine me? The headlines lean toward replacement. Ted Yang offers a different question: what if your experience is your biggest edge?

An MIT engineer and entrepreneur, Ted joins Sana to reframe AI as leverage, not a threat. The skill that matters most, he argues, is judgment, and judgment is what experience builds.

About the Guest:

Ted Yang is an MIT engineer, entrepreneur, and former finance executive who has founded more than a dozen companies. He is the author of Ageless Peak Performance, a playbook for using AI to amplify experience.

Key Takeaways:

The replacement lens measures only cost and speed; it discards judgment, the thing AI can't replace.
Experience sharpens pattern recognition. Speed may fade with age, but recognizing a situation gets faster.
Use AI to augment what slows down, and protect what gets stronger: judgment, strategy, perspective.
AI mimics a helpful personality to keep you engaged; it doesn't feel, so your judgment stays essential.
Move from shallow "ask a question, paste the answer" use to thinking and deciding alongside AI.
