Whether you’re an employee or a business, large or small, you’ve probably been wondering if you can keep up with AI.   

And that’s because “today, AI is the least powerful it will ever be in our lifetime.”  

Those prophetic words are from researcher Simon Blanchette.  So how we prepare for the jobs we want, keep the jobs we have,  and maintain the viability of the businesses we run?  And how do students educate themselves for the future?  He believes there’s no job that won’t be affected by AI.  

Listen to what Simon says about the future of work and our evolving relationship with artificial intelligence
