Ep 22 - Texans CU EVP Mike McWethy on Why AI Makes Human Connection More Important, Not Less

What if AI isn’t here to replace people, but to completely change how work gets done?In this episode of Human x AI, Mike McWethy (EVP, Texans Credit Union) breaks down what’s actually happening as AI enters the workplace. Tasks that once took 30 minutes now take seconds. AI is stepping in to handle repetitive, low-value work, freeing teams to focus on what truly matters. Not more tasks. Not more output. Better thinking, better decisions, and more meaningful human interactions.AI isn’t removing the human element, it’s making space for it. From enabling 24/7 support to uncovering insights humans might miss, it’s reshaping how organizations operate and how people contribute.At the same time, a new skill is emerging. The ability to think broadly, frame the right problems, and guide AI toward better outcomes is becoming more valuable than ever.
