Prepare to have your mind expanded as we journey through the intricate relationship of complexity and AI in the ever-evolving world of business. Join our esteemed guests, Nigel Thurlow and Sonja Blignaut, as we confront the inescapable realities of uncertainty and ambiguity that loom in our world. We delve into the rise of what Thurlow labels as "bullshit jobs," and the importance of understanding our environment, relationships, and human factors in this era of AI. This discussion is not just enlightening; it's a stepping stone in unraveling the enigma that is complexity.

As we navigate this uncharted territory, we examine the impact of social media, the desire for instant gratification, and the influence of machine learning algorithms on our behavior and workplaces. We also bring to light strategies to face these challenges and encourage adaptability and changeability. This isn't a survival guide for the digital age; it's a compass to guide us through the labyrinth of the modern world.

Lastly, we contemplate the implications of AI and automation on our lives, from the encroaching dominance of AI over routine jobs to the possibility of a future where AI can detect non-value-added activity. As we take a step back to observe our obsession with TikTok and our dwindling attention spans, we consider what it means to maintain our humanness. In a world that's constantly changing, we explore the themes of responsibility, accountability, and perception, and how viewing reality from different angles can shape our future. Join us on this enlightening journey and see the world through a new lens.
