The Economist.

Hi, it's Jason Palmer here. The real one, not some AI simulation. You never know these days.

I'm here to introduce season three of Boss Class. You clamored for more, now it's here.

Over the next three weeks, we'll be publishing two episodes each week in the same place you find the intelligence.

Meanwhile, the weekend intelligence will be out of office while we publish Boss Class.

They'll be traveling and reporting and gathering the compelling stories you'll hear when

it's back. Season 3 of Boss Class is all about generative AI at work, something that most

of us find at least a little terrifying, or should. Andrew Palmer, no relation, is back as our guide.

He writes Bartleby, our column on work and management. He knows he should

probably be using more AI at work, but he isn't sure where to start. Boss Class asks why

AI is so frighteningly good at some things, but equally frighteningly bad at others, and what that means

for the future of all of our jobs. Now, like purveyors of other addictive substances, we're making the first dose free.

But for the rest of the series, you'll need to be a subscriber.

Hi, who is this? Who am I talking to?

Hello, I'm Andrew Palmer, a senior writer at The Economist and the host of the boss class podcast. Hello, Andrew. This is totally weird. This is totally weird. I'm Andrew Palmer,

senior writer at The Economist and host of the Boss Class podcast. That is my digital clone.

It's been trained on my writing and my voice to answer questions

about management and the world of work. According to my Bartleby column, the workplace day by day

is a theatre of mild agitation. I wrote that suspense can come from the smallest things, like

entering and exiting meetings or presenting when the clicker doesn't work.

It's a bit of an Andrew-only Google search.
