This conversation is a deep exploration of how AI is reshaping business, labor, and society, interwoven with the inspiring story of how Jeetu rose to one of the most influential leadership roles. Whether you're a developer, a student, or a business leader, this interview provides a roadmap for thriving in a world where AI is no longer a tool, but a colleague. *What happens when AI agents become your coworkers?* Jeetu explains why we are all transitioning into becoming 'managers of AI agents' and reveals how Cisco has already developed a product that is 100% coded by AI, yet still needs human engineers. Key Discussion Points: How can countries like India carve out leadership amidst the US-China duopoly in AI? How are companies like Cisco positioning themselves in the AI revolution? Why modern software development has "completely flipped" and what it means for the next generation of engineers. How will organizational structures change as AI automates entry-level tasks? What skills should the next generation build to stay relevant in an AI-driven world? How do we embed trust, ethics, and human values into AI agents and AI systems?
