Artificial intelligence is transforming the way we work, raising difficult questions about expertise, creativity, and the future of professional life. In this episode of Words on a Wire, host Will Rose speaks with Chris Walker, author of The Frequency Era, about his argument that society is entering a new economic age.

Walker contends that as information becomes increasingly abundant through AI, the qualities that make us uniquely human become more valuable. Drawing on history, psychology, neuroscience, and economics, he explores why creativity, judgment, discernment, emotional resilience, and human connection may emerge as the defining skills of the future.
