About this episode
September 2, 2026: I share key lessons from my CHRO session with iFood CEO Diego Barreto, including why he is investing in AI even with negative ROI, how he built a digital twin, and how iFood is rethinking reviews, meetings, and change management. Then I get into the Wall Street Journal's report on employers using new interview rituals to fight AI-enabled candidate fraud. Finally, I unpack Uber cutting 10% of its workforce and why the real story may be work redesign, bureaucracy, and coordination, not AI replacing jobs.
