In this special Women Leaders In Technology episode of The AI Forecast, Wayfound.ai CEO Tatyana Mamut, PhD, makes a bold claim: AI is already acting like a workforce—and organizations are unprepared for what that means.

From econometrics to anthropology to leading roles at Salesforce, AWS, an d Nextdoor, Tatyana shares how her background shaped a fundamentally different approach to leadership. Drawing on her unconventional journey, she explains why agentic AI is forcing leaders to rethink how they manage technology, shifting from systems to a focus on teams, culture, and governance.

Together, Tatyana and Paul share their perspectives on:

Why agentic AI needs to be managed like human teams
The rise of multi-sapien workplaces (humans + AI agents)
How culture and leadership frameworks shape AI outcomes
Why unstructured data drives the most valuable insights
The role of ethics, law, and governance in controlling AI systems
Why intellectual curiosity beyond technical skill defines great leaders

This conversation goes beyond technology; Tatyana also reflects on leadership and representation in tech, challenging assumptions about opportunity, and exhibiting why diverse ways of thinking are critical in an AI-driven world.
