Moonshots #303: incentives, more than capability, decide how AI lands

On Moonshots #303, Peter Diamandis, Salim Ismail, Emad Mostaque and XPRIZE's Anousheh Ansari make the case that incentive design, more than raw capability, decides whether AI pulls in the right direction. On Monday, pick one workflow, write down what its owner is actually rewarded for, and make sure any agent you put in it is measured on that same outcome rather than on activity.
