Every day we hear of advances in AI, with new systems – from ChatGPT to Claude to Gemini – taking on activities that, until recently, we thought only human beings alone could ever do: writing effective code and drafting compelling documents, designing beautiful buildings, and diagnosing medical illnesses. What does all this progress mean for the future of work? It is one of the greatest questions of our time. And in this optimistic and pragmatic talk, Daniel Susskind explores what lies ahead, drawing on his best-selling books, ‘The Future of the Professions’ and ‘A World Without Work.’ He describes how, in the future, we will neither need nor want professionals – accountants, lawyers, doctors, teachers, architects, the clergy, consultants, and many others – to work as they did in the 20th century. And he sets out how HR can prepare us all to flourish in the decades to come.
