AI Won’t Steal Your Job, but It Will Rewrite It
What will AI really do to your job—replace it, reshape it, or leave it untouched? In this episode of AI Experience, Julien Redelsperger speaks with Karen Boyd, Director of Research at the Policy & Innovation Center, about what it means to be “AI-ready” in the workplace. You’ll hear how AI is already changing both white-collar and blue-collar jobs, why some roles are more exposed than others, and what skills will matter most in the years ahead. Karen also shares why reflexivity—the ability to notice your own assumptions—may be the human edge that helps you thrive alongside algorithms. If you’re wondering how to adapt your career, or how to prepare your teams for the age of AI, this conversation is for you.
