    AI and the Future of Work

    How will artificial intelligence reshape the way we work? Which jobs will evolve, which will disappear, and how can we prepare for what comes next?    In this episode of MINDWORKS, host Daniel Serfaty talks with Professor Joseph Fuller of Harvard Business School, co-director of the Managing the Future of Work project, about how AI is transforming jobs, skills, and organizations. Together, they explore what makes certain roles more vulnerable to automation, how human–AI collaboration can create new opportunities, and what leaders, policymakers, and workers can do to ensure AI amplifies human potential rather than replaces it.    Listen for insights that cut through the hype and focus on what matters most: adapting to the future of work with purpose, equity, and resilience.
