AI And The Knowledge Economy With Sangeet Paul Choudary – This Week’s Thinking With Mitch Joel Conversation

Episode #1040 of Thinking With Mitch Joel is now live.

This conversation with Sangeet Paul Choudary gets into a much bigger idea than AI as productivity software. The current obsession is to ask which tasks get faster, which workflows get automated, which jobs get disrupted and which tools companies should adopt. Those are important questions, but Sangeet argues that they are not the deepest ones.

The deeper question is what happens when the thing that used to be scarce becomes abundant.

Sangeet has been studying these shifts for years. Long before AI became the default business conversation, he was helping leaders understand the rise of platforms and how they reshaped economic power. He is the co-author of Platform Revolution, founder of Platform Thinking Labs, an advisor to global corporations and governments, and one of the sharper thinkers on digital business models.

His latest book, Reshuffle – Who Wins When AI Restacks The Knowledge Economy, extends that work into the age of artificial intelligence.

Sangeet is looking at how technology changes the architecture of industries. When value moves, organizations often struggle not because they failed to see the change, but because they were built around the old source of value. Kodak saw digital photography. Blockbuster saw Netflix. The problem was not blindness. The problem was architecture. The business logic that once created advantage became the trap. In this conversation, we talk about AI, platforms, supply chains, professional services and the future of knowledge work. Mostly, this is a conversation about what happens when expertise, judgment and know-how start migrating into software systems. Not all at once. Not evenly. Not without resistance. But enough to force a reshuffling of power, value and advantage.
