When running fast to keep up with change, “food for thought” is essential nutrition. What a treat it was to spend time with Professor Erik Brynjolfsson *twice* this week! First, in a small roundtable on AI and work, then back the next day for a 1:1 walking meeting around Stanford University's idyllic campus.
✅Some areas of strong agreement between us:
- The combined “breadth” and “pace” of AI’s labor market impacts is unprecedented.
- AI is “Amplified Intention,” it's a technology that yields to our purposes to a striking degree.
- The future of human work and AI is a design problem (not a prediction problem).
🔎Some areas of curiosity and exploration:
- Getting good benchmark metrics of joint human + AI problem-solving outcomes vs. either alone.
- Considering how workers leverage skills for job-to-job mobility, how does it shift our ‘snapshot’ views of AI risks and potential?
- Beyond being a source of income, what will be the future role of work as a source of identity and flourishing?
🤝*Most of all* a shared concern:
Whatever the ultimate pace of AI-driven automation, we need to get smarter and move faster to identify and invest in blended “people + AI” models to augment human capabilities, empower more people as problem solvers, and enable companies and communities to solve more unsolved problems.
