S17E1 - Who Owns Your Work in the Age of AI?

You are listening to Curiosity Curated. I am Zong.

You’re applying for a job.
You don’t submit a resume.
You grant temporary access to your AI agent.
The company’s AI evaluates yours.
It gives your agent a few tasks.
Summarize this dataset.
Draft a client email.
Analyze this market and propose a strategy.
And within minutes, it has a clear picture of what you can actually do.
Not what you say you can do.
But what your system can do.

Now—this is a hypothetical scenario.
But it’s not coming out of nowhere.
Because something important has already started to change in how AI works today.
