In this conversation, Matt Stewart of Disruptive Edge discusses the transformative impact of AI on corporate innovation and the future of work. He emphasizes that while AI will automate many jobs, it also presents unprecedented opportunities for those in strategic design roles. The discussion explores the challenges of human bottlenecks in decision-making, the emergence of new job roles, and the potential shift towards a self-fulfillment economy where traditional work structures may no longer apply. The conversation concludes with a call to imagine a new economic model that prioritizes purpose and meaning in a rapidly changing world.
