Work is being fundamentally reshaped. Workflows are automated, agents and assistants are augmenting us. Our ideas about what's difficult or expensive are becoming outdated with every new AI model, every quarter month week. The job market is crowded, teams are shrinking, and roles are changing.
This can feel overwhelming. The gap between those who are "AI native" and everyone else is huge. Learning to use AI has a steep learning curve. Students are looking for future-proof careers, and knowledge workers are worried about being replaced. Can human cognition keep up with the pace of AI and soon AGI? What will human work look like?
This moment is also exciting. What if we could all just focus on the parts of work we do best? What if we had unlimited support and resources to augment us? What if we could remove the draining parts of work and enhance the parts that give us meaning?
