The Case of the Willing Recruits

Case file: a graduate left consulting after three months for an AI start-up. Wren: chasing hype? Hale: he says the pace needs careful evaluation; a lot of opportunity, and some fears. A former McKinsey consultant says the economy's centre of gravity is shifting. The Bubble: so be where it shifts! The recruits know executives have called for slowing AI down. Nightjar: they see the fears, they go anyway. Wren: opportunity and fear, same desk.

The graduates quitting consulting for AI start-ups say they share the worries about AI: one who left after three months says he went because the technology moves fast, that the pace needs careful evaluation, and that he sees a lot of opportunity but some fears as well; they know top executives have called for slowing AI down, and a former McKinsey consultant says they go anyway because the centre of gravity of the economy is shifting.
