The question

Leaders are being asked to plan for a labour market nobody can forecast. Headlines swing between “nothing will change” and “every job is gone”. Neither helps anyone decide what to do on Monday.

The keynote

Talks are adapted to each audience and event brief.

For generations, the value of work has been linked to what people know and what they can do. AI is forcing us to reconsider that relationship. As machines become capable of more complex cognitive tasks, the boundaries between human contribution, software and automation start to move.

This keynote examines the economic logic behind AI’s impact on work: which kinds of tasks become cheaper, how companies may reorganize, why some roles could change dramatically, and what new forms of value might emerge. Rather than presenting a single prediction about whether every job disappears, it offers a sharper way to understand the forces reshaping careers and organizations.

The question is not just whether AI can perform a task. It’s what happens to our institutions, incentives and identities when it can.

What the audience will leave with

01
Understand how cheaper AI capabilities change the economics of work.
02
Separate immediate task-level automation from bigger claims about the future of employment.
03
Leave with the strategic questions individuals and organizations should be asking now.
