SPONSORED BY MONGODBPete Johnson, Field CTO, Artificial Intelligence at MongoDB, joins the podcast to talk about a recent OpenAI paper on the impact that AI will have on jobs and overall GDP. Pete, who reads the papers (and datasets) so you don’t have to, says that looking at AI’s impact as a job killer is a flawed metric. Instead, he and Ryan talk about how AI will be a collaborator for actual human workers, how embeddings and vectorization will move the productivity needle, and the five decisions you need to make to realize ROI on AI.&nbsp;Episode notes:If you’re curious, read the <a href="https://openai.com/index/gdpval/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">OpenAI blog post</a> and <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.04374" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">paper</a> yourself.&nbsp;For those of you looking for inspiration, check out <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y1G9najGiI" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Werner Vogel’s keynote</a> from re:Invent 2025.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mongodb.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">MongoDB</a> provides a flexible and dynamic database that excels with AI data.&nbsp;Connect with Pete on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/petecj2/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a>.Congrats to Populist badge winner <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/7478597/scheffs-cat" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Scheff's Cat</a> for dropping a banger of an answer on <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61518284/error-non-const-static-data-member-must-be-initialized-out-of-line/61519399#61519399" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">error: non-const static data member must be initialized out of line</a>.See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.
