There are countless conversations, concerns, theories and ideas about the future of work. Will AI and automation take over? Will we experience major job loss? Will there be a ton of new jobs created? Will we all be on Universal Basic Income and be able to do whatever we want?
Whether you are in the camp of people who are excited and optimistic about AI and automation or the camp of people who are concerned and even slightly scared of what will happen to human jobs in the future, this topic always leads to a fascinating discussion and it is exactly what I will be talking about today with Martin Ford, NY Times Bestselling author and leading futurist.
AI is everywhere, and there are many things to consider with how it will affect the future of work. This week our community looked at things in a different light by considering how AI and automation will impact creative and human skill building and what skills humans need to develop now to avoid getting swept up by AI.

AI and Automation doesn’t have to create the job apocalypse that some people are worried about. We have a choice to make–will AI replace your workers or will it augment them?
Technology is everywhere—from robots and chatbots to self-driving cars, wearable devices, and sensors, it is nearly impossible to escape advancing technology. As technology grows and plays a larger role within organizations, it is easy to let it take over. However, one of the most important things humans can do with technology is to just be human. This week our community discussed how we can combine people with technology for the best of both worlds. […]
A lot of times I hear people discussing AI and Automation in a way that makes it seem like once everything is fully automated we will all lose our jobs. But is that the right way to think about it? When you lose something that means you misplaced it, you no longer know where it is. It has an air of carelessness or passiveness. […]
Imagine a world where humans only work a few hours a week, robots and AI do almost all of the work, and we all receive a Universal Basic Income. Although it sounds very different from our current situation, it’s actually not that far fetched and could happen within the next 20-25 years. This week our community discussed the likelihood of this actually happening and what it would take for this hypothetical to turn into reality. […]
Today’s guest is Professor Luis Perez-Breva, the faculty director of MIT’s Innovation Teams program and author of Innovating: A Doer’s Manifesto. We are taking a more realistic and practical look at AI while debunking some of the common myths and misperceptions. We will explore things such as the differences between intelligence and awareness, the AI debate between Elon Musk vs Mark Zuckerberg, some realistic AI time horizons, and much more. […]
AI and automation is at the center of a lot of conversations these days. Most of the time these discussions are focused around efficiency and the ability of AI and automation to get a task done. An autonomous vehicle, for example, can pick you up from point A and drop you off at point B. […]
My team and I just put out a new white-paper exploring, How Artificial Intelligence Will Change the Way You Work.
