🎙️ On with Kara Swisher: How AI Will Impact the Future of Work?
If you’ve ever listened to Kara Swisher, you know she doesn’t sugarcoat. She’s one of tech’s sharpest interviewers—grilling CEOs, policymakers, and innovators on the big shifts shaping our world. In this episode, she dives into AI’s impact on the workforce with two experts who see the future very differently: - Martin Ford → Futurist and author (Rise of the Robots), who believes AI and robotics will displace at least half the workforce. - Betsy Stevenson → Economist, professor at the University of Michigan, and former chief economist at the U.S. Department of Labor, who argues AI will create new opportunities—though not without painful transitions. 💡 They wrestle with big questions: - Will wages collapse before jobs disappear? - Can AI really replace our intellect the way machines once replaced our brawn? - If work changes radically, how will humans find dignity, purpose, and income? - Should governments tax robots, fund worker training, or even provide a universal income? 👉 One thing they agree on: AI is different from past tech shifts. It cuts straight at our comparative advantage—our intelligence. 💬 Do you believe AI will mostly destroy jobs, create better ones, or simply change the definition of work as we know it? 📊 Poll: What do you think the next decade looks like?
