Read excerpt
Elon Musk thinks we will have AI Abundance in 10 years. Everyone is asking whether AI will replace jobs. The AI bubble is potentially on the horizon. Beyond the hype and the panic however, is the more interesting question: what is AI revealing about the way we work today?Over the past few weeks, I've become increasingly convinced that we're focusing on the wrong AI story.Yes, artificial intelligence is changing work.
