Future of work

Overview

Future of work is the label for arguments about how jobs, roles and company size shift as AI, automation and a tight labour market change what employers need from people. Davio Larnout of Superlinear treats productivity as the one lever still available, while Jurgen Ingels of Smartfin points at ten-person companies doing tens of millions in revenue and at a labour market that pays the top and skips the rest. The wiki ties 23 entities to the theme and counts 59 videos where it comes up.
