What is the future of work in an AI-dominated world, and how will economies adapt and change?

This week I'm talking with economist Bill Connerly to explore the intricate balance between technological advancement and economic stability, job creation, and the shifting landscape of employment. We'll unpack the complexities of AI's role in shaping industries, questioning the balance between innovation and the displacement of traditional jobs.

This discussion isn't just about predicting the future; it's about understanding the steps we can take today to prepare for a tomorrow where technology and human ambition coexist harmoniously. You'll be challenged to think beyond the immediate impacts of AI, considering broader economic implications and opportunities for personal and professional growth in a future that seems increasingly automated.

I hope this conversation will provide you with a clearer vision of where the world is heading and how technological advancements could reshape not just the economy but the very fabric of society.
