At the 2025 Wharton Global Forum in San Francisco, host Kartik Hosanagar moderates a powerhouse panel on the future of AI. Leaders from Microsoft, T. Rowe Price, GrowthCurve Capital, NewFront, and HSG (formerly Sequoia China) share their perspectives on where AI is headed, what it means for business, and how organizations can prepare. From bold claims about AGI arriving in just a few years, to the “Gen AI paradox” (adoption without clear ROI), to how products and teams must be reimagined in an AI-first world, this wide-ranging discussion dives into the questions every business leader is asking.

In this episode of Creative Intelligence, host Karthik Hosanagar sits down with Shishir Mehrotra — CEO of Grammarly, founder of Coda, and former Head of Product at YouTube — to explore how AI is transforming work as we know it. Shishir shares an inside look at Grammarly’s bold new vision: building an “AI superhighway” that brings intelligent agents directly to where people already work. From the acquisition of Superhuman to rethinking the productivity suite with Coda Brain, this conversation dives deep into how individuals and companies can play both offense and defense with AI.

In this episode of Creative Intelligence, Kartik Hosanagar sits down with David Droga — CEO of Accenture Song and founder of the legendary agency Droga5 — to explore how AI is reshaping the creative industry. From the evolving role of CMOs to the future of ad agencies, they discuss why creativity and technology must now move hand in hand. Droga shares why not all creativity is worth saving, how AI can elevate originality (not just efficiency), and why the best creative minds today must also be doers. This episode originally premiered on Where AI Works.

In this episode of Creative Intelligence, author Sangeet Paul Choudary joins Kartik Hosanagar to unpack why the popular phrase “AI won’t take your job, but someone using AI will” is a dangerous oversimplification. Instead of just changing tasks, AI is transforming the entire system of work—reshaping roles, workflows, and even the structure of organizations. If you want to stay relevant in the age of AI, this conversation is essential.

Kartik speaks with Keith Ferrazzi, author of numerous leadership books like Never Lead Alone, and Leading Without Authority, and Gautam Tambay, co-founder and CEO of Springboard, an online learning resource that helps learners gain relevant software skills for employment. They talk about the new role AI will play in helping teams engage in more open and productive communication, how to reskill workers for the new age, and which jobs might be replaced, augmented, or created as a result of AI.

In the second episode of Creative Intelligence, Kartik is joined by New York Times reporter Cade Metz, who wrote the book “Genius Makers: The Mavericks Who Brought AI to Google, Facebook, and the World,” in front of a live audience at Wharton’s San Francisco campus. The pair talk about the titans of modern AI, such as Geoffrey Hinton and Demis Hassabis, the role of AI in art and journalism, and the seemingly contradicting viewpoints of today’s AI leaders.

In this series premiere, Kartik is joined by Sal Khan – Founder and CEO of Khan Academy – for a wide-ranging discussion that includes Sal’s start with Khan Academy, the role AI plays in education, Khan Academy’s new AI tool, Khanmigo, challenges with AI use in education, and why, even with all of the concerns around AI, Sal remains an optimist.
