How AI is Rewriting the Rules of Work

Jan 15, 2025

AI is rewriting the rules of work, reinventing the way we do our jobs, and happening across industries, companies, and jobs. 80% of current American jobs contain tasks that could be significantly impacted by AI.

In this video, I break down three aspects of this transformation:

  1. Scale: 1/5 of the workforce could see their workforce tasks transformed
  2. Speed: It took the Internet 7 years to reach widespread adoption. AI hits similar marks within a year.
  3. Stakes: AI could boost productivity by 18% in the next decade. But does this gain come with reasonable wage gains? With this rapid impact on our workforce, what future will YOU create with AI?

While these innovations promise increased efficiency and reduced pesticide use, they also threaten to hollow out local communities by shipping jobs and control to distant tech centers. We examine how the “green gold” that John Steinbeck wrote about is being transformed by forces that could fundamentally alter rural American life.
