Cultured Convos: Media Diversity w/ Kenya Downs
After attending Freedom of Expression in a Multicultural World at the National Endowment of Democracy (NED) hosted by NED's Center for International Media Assistance (CIMA) and the Media and Diversity Institute (MDI) in early June I felt it was imperative to have a follow-up conversation on diversity in the media.
The rise of artificial intelligence isn’t just changing tools, it’s reshaping the workforce. We’re entering the age of agentrification, a term used to describe the replacement of human workers with AI agents across knowledge-based and managerial roles. This shift is faster and deeper than previous automation waves, and it’s already impacting global employment systems.
According to the World Economic Forum, an estimated 92 million existing roles will disappear over the next five years. While 170 million new roles are projected to emerge, this disruption doesn’t come with a built-in safety net. In fact, 41% of employers globally report plans to reduce their workforce as AI automates key tasks.
For leaders, this isn’t just a technical challenge, it’s a cultural reckoning.
At Glass Ladder Group, we’re helping institutions confront this moment with clarity and compassion. Because how you integrate AI, who is trained, who is displaced, and how you communicate it, will shape your legacy and your workforce for decades to come.
