The Future of Work: Do Humans still matter?
sharp10 Global Trends
sharp10 Global Trends | Episode 2
Will AI take your job?
Or even more radical, will humans even matter economically anymore?
It’s March twenty twenty-six, and the headlines are getting tough to ignore.
UPS just laid off forty-eight thousand people blaming their new AI-driven network of the future.
Amazon has already cut another sixteen thousand this year on top of fourteen thousand last year.
Accenture, Citigroup, Goldman, Klarna, Lufthansa, one after another, companies keep saying the same thing: AI made us do it.
So what if humans just are not or less needed in the economy anymore? Who actually owns this new AI economy?
And if work stops defining us as humans, what replaces it?
