Your Defensible Zone: How to Stay Valuable When AI Is Rewriting the Rules | Dilip Chetan | Ep. 228
About this episode
What happens to your career when AI can do most of what you were hired to do?
Dilip Chetan is the founder of Recursio Lab and creator of the Defensible Zone framework — a practical approach to helping professionals understand where their natural strengths meet real market demand in an AI-disrupted world.
In this episode we cover:
Why "what can't AI do?" is the wrong question — and what to ask instead
The difference between natural affinity and passion, and why it matters for career survival
What the localization and language services industry needs to understand about AI displacement right now
How organizations are using AI as cover for cost-cutting versus genuine reinvention
What localization directors should do today to future-proof their teams
