Forget AI: New Series Says Your Next Expert Should Be a Coworker

A new editorial series argues that the best source of knowledge at work may not be a chatbot, but the person at the next desk. The series, launching this week, aims to revive a simple, human practice: employees sharing expertise directly with each other. It highlights that for decades, this peer-to-peer collaboration has been the foundation of solving problems and building skills. The project will feature case studies and interviews showing how direct conversation between colleagues can tackle complex issues that automated tools cannot. It serves as a reminder that while technology provides data, human exchange provides context, trust, and practical wisdom. In an era of artificial intelligence, the series makes a case for a return to a more organic intelligence—the kind found in team discussion and shared experience.
