Happy holidays to you from us here at McKinsey. Today we've got one of our most popular interviews from 2025. We'll be back January 8th with new episodes. This is the McKinsey Podcast, where we help you make sense out of our world's toughest business challenges. Welcome to the show.

I'm Lucia Rahili and I'm Roberta Fassaro. I think we are gonna go into a world in which you will have to think about your workforce as both agentic and human workforces. That's McKinsey's senior partner, Jorge Amar. He's talking about a future where humans and AI agents are sitting side by side in meetings. He spoke with talent experts Brooke Weddle and Brian Hancock and global editorial director Lucia Rahili.

They dig into what AI agents are, how they can be used, and what that means for the structure of your teams. What you're hearing is a recent episode of their discussion on the McKinsey Talks Talent podcast. Jorge, welcome to the show. Thank you very much. Excited to be here.
