Today in Fortune, I lay out a positive vision for the AI future of work. I was inspired after seeing Ted Chiang's piece in the New Yorker speculating that AI would largely "sharpen the knife blade of capitalism". We can do so much better. We can thrive!
AI can make work more human by: * maximizing your moments of flow * coaching everyone into better work/rest balance * automating rote, uncreative work * decoding culture and new projects * helping leaders appreciate work outputs, instead of measuring inputs * more!

AI will introduce new challenges for society, both small and large, but I've always believed in our ability to prevail. I see a future where AI *enhances* our ability to be human. We can co-create beautiful, complex structure in our personal and work lives. We'll do it together.

In the case of work, surely it impacts team size requirements? This can then, perhaps, be extrapolated to the broader picture of society? … although I guess it could go the other way and entail entirely news kinds of jobs in entirely new fields

Yea I think there are factors pointing in both directions and I'm not sure how they net out. Some jobs can be replaced, others become even more valuable.
