Colorado Innovators: Bijal Choksi, Founding Partner at HuWork

In this episode of The Bear Roars, Dan Caruso sits down with psychologist, leadership advisor, and HuWork co-founder Bijal Choksi for a thought-provoking conversation on the human side of the AI revolution.

Drawing from her new book, Still Human: How to Build Organizations Where Leaders and Teams Thrive with AI, Bijal shares why the greatest challenges of AI may have less to do with technology and more to do with people. Together, Dan and Bijal explore the growing fear of becoming obsolete, the future of leadership, and the skills that will matter most in an AI-powered world.

The conversation spans education, workplace culture, creativity, human connection, and the evolving relationship between AI and society. Bijal introduces the concept of “Human Edge Skills” and explains why relationship-building, influence, strategic thinking, and teamwork may become even more valuable as AI capabilities continue to accelerate.

Dan and Bijal also dive into broader questions around biotechnology, longevity, and what it means to flourish as humans in a future shaped by AI.
