Building a future worth working in
It’s easy to become myopic about the future of work. Take a quick look at the world today and the signs can seem discouraging: political instability, economic volatility, the accelerating disruption posed by AI and climate change. Together, these factors paint a picture of uncertainty that can make our belief in progress seem naïve and tempt us into believing that the future can be no better than the past, that our best days are now behind us. That would be a profound failure of imagination.
