AI Won’t Replace You… Unless You’re Doing the Wrong Work

Host Butch Zemar chats with Michael Kupchak—accountant, educator, fraud examiner, and youth sports coach—about a career path that runs from small family business to teaching at the University of Chicago. Michael shares how blending accounting with information sciences put him in the sweet spot for AI’s rise—not to replace humans, but to kill repetitive work so you can focus on the good stuff (like lunch).

He warns that in fraud, the biggest risk might be the person you trust most—kind of like whoever “manages” the office coffee fund. On generational shifts, today’s grads are more likely to question professors and expect work-life balance out of the gate.

Off the clock, Michael coaches youth sports and backs his kids’ dreams—whether engineering, SWAT team, or whatever they change their mind to next year. His advice: learn the numbers, but more importantly, learn to solve problems no one’s answered yet… because AI won’t do all your thinking for you.
