Episode 2: AI Optimization, Language in Tech, and the Future of Job Titles

Welcome back to the Sciforma Podcast! In this episode, Alex and Tim dive into three fascinating topics shaping the future of work, technology, and project management.
We tackle a conversation sparked by our recent webinar, namely whether term "resource" when referring to people is dehumanizing. We examine the evolution of business language, the impact of terminology on workplace culture, and whether it’s time to move away from “human resources” in favor of “people operations.”
We look at the future of job titles in the age of AI. With AI becoming an integral part of roles across industries, should job titles reflect this shift? Will developers, designers, and writers soon be called "AI Wranglers," or is AI simply another tool in the creative and technical toolkit?
Finally, we chat about some updates with the news from Deep Seek and how their optimisation efforts have been disrupting the market.
This episode is all about the intersection of technology, language, and the workplace—how AI is reshaping industries, and how we talk about the people driving innovation.
