AI didn't just evolve.

It accelerated faster than most businesses could adapt.

In just the last year, we've gone from curiosity… to experimentation… to the start of company adoption. And now?

Leaders are facing a new problem: AI is making them less trusted.

Season 3 of The AI CEO Podcast begins here—with Allison Shapira, founder and CEO of Global Public Speaking, Harvard lecturer, keynote speaker, and bestselling author of AI for the Authentic Leader.

A former opera singer turned global communication expert, Allison has coached Fortune 500 executives, world leaders, and high-growth companies on how to communicate with clarity, conviction, and authenticity.

But in this new era of AI adoption, even the best leaders are getting it wrong.

In this conversation, we explore: -Why AI adoption is quietly eroding trust inside organizations -What happens when leaders delegate communication instead of owning it -How over-reliance on AI makes executives sound less genuine, confident, and knowledgeable -The real shift from tools → to people, process, and platform transformation -How to use AI to amplify your voice instead of replacing it -Why authenticity may become the ultimate competitive advantage in the AI era -And a special surprise moment that AI will never take away

Drop your biggest takeaway in the comments. And if this changed how you think about AI in your business, share it with a leader who needs to hear it.

If you want to go deeper on this…

We're hosting AI BusinessCon the world's first business rewiring conference of the AI era.

This is where we move beyond conversation and into how to actually rethink, reimagine, and rewire your business across people, process, and platforms.
