Ex-Goldman banker, now a YouTube AI teacher, says workers are ahead of bosses

Nate Herk left Goldman Sachs and now teaches AI on YouTube, where he has 1 million subscribers. His new survey points to a gap inside many companies: employees are teaching themselves AI skills, while founders are not getting the benefit.

Who Nate Herk is

Herk runs the AI Automation Society, described by Inc. as one of the biggest communities of people learning AI on their own. Automation here means using software to handle routine tasks so a person does not have to. The community is built around self-teaching, not formal classes or company training.

What the survey says

According to the material available, the survey finds that workers are picking up AI skills on their own. It also finds that founders are leaving the gains on the table. In plain terms, the people doing the daily work may be getting more out of AI than the people who run the business.

What is not known yet

The full article was not available, so key details are missing. The material does not say how many people were surveyed, who they were, or which AI skills Herk calls essential. It also does not give figures on how much time or money is being lost.

What to do

If you run a business, your staff may already know more about AI than you do. A simple first step is to ask them what tools they use and what tasks those tools help with.
