Today, executives have to cut through a lot of hype around automation. Leaders need a clear-eyed way to think about how these technologies will specifically affect their organizations. The right question isn’t which jobs are going to be replaced, but rather, what work will be redefined, and how? Based on our work with a number of organizations grappling with these issues, we’ve found that the following four-step approach can help.

1. Start with the work, not the “job” or the technology. 

Much work will continue to exist as traditional “jobs” in organizations, but automation makes traditional jobs more fluid and an increasing amount of work will occur outside the traditional boundaries of a “job.”

We've interviewed Mason Victors, CPO and CTO at Recursion Pharmaceuticals for you and asked his opinion on the most important things for businesses and humanity in relation to AI at the moment, what will be the next big areas of AI in the next 3 years and his biggest fear in relation to AI
