AI Agents at Work: Navigating the Rise of ‘Downloadable Employees

Episode Summary:
The workplace is shifting faster than ever, and the newest hires aren’t walking through the door—they’re being downloaded. In this episode of Career Volt, Jennifer explores the rise of AI agents, sometimes called “downloadable employees,” and how they’re already reshaping workflows across industries. From HR onboarding to legal contract review, these autonomous systems are freeing humans from repetitive tasks and sparking a new wave of efficiency. But with innovation comes complexity: Are companies really prepared to manage, secure, and govern AI coworkers?

Jennifer dives into real-world examples from companies like Workday, Salesforce, and PwC, while unpacking the growing demand for new roles in AI oversight, governance, and human-AI collaboration. Listeners will walk away with a clear picture of the opportunities—and risks—these agents bring, plus insight into how to prepare for a future where your next teammate might not be a person, but a program.
