The Future of Work in the Age of AI.
Every day we hear of advances in AI, with new systems — from ChatGPT to Claude — taking on activities that, until recently, we thought only human beings alone could ever do: writing effective code and drafting compelling documents, designing beautiful buildings, and diagnosing medical illnesses. What does all this progress mean for the future of work? It is one of the greatest questions of our time. And in this optimistic and pragmatic talk, Daniel Susskind explores what lies ahead, setting out how leaders in politics and business should respond, drawing on his acclaimed books, The Future of the Professions, A World Without Work, and Growth: A Reckoning.
