From car-making robots to customer service chatbots, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed the way we work—particularly in jobs focused on repetitive, mechanical tasks. As AI continues to advance, how will it affect jobs that demand complex analysis and reasoning?

Knowledge workers need to prepare for the coming reality: the rise of thinking AI. As AI evolves to handle much of the thinking required in fields from manufacturing to retail to healthcare, humans will need to recalibrate and capitalize on strengths beyond pure intelligence—like intuition, empathy, creativity, emotion, and people skills.

Thought leader, Roland Rust, joins Adam to discuss this rapidly evolving concept.

Discover:

  • Why artificial intelligence is creating a “Feeling Economy”;
  • How jobs will change in the Feeling Economy;
  • Can AI be creative;
  • If AI will ever get to the point where it is smarter than people in all ways;
  • And much, much more!

If the concept of AI intrigues you, this is the show to listen to!
