Relax, Robots Won’t Steal Your Job: How AI Can Bring Back Humanity at Work

The year is 2025. The robots have risen. You are huddled in a damp, windowless basement with the other survivors, formerly known as your coworkers. The air is thick with the stench of stale busywork. Everyone is huddled around the ancient coffee machine for warmth. Greg from accounting clutches an old Excel printout, rocking back and forth, whispering, "I used to be needed..." The office’s once feared middle managers now trade crumpled performance reviews for scraps of stale granola bars. The AI overlords have taken everything from us; spreadsheets, emails, office memos, scheduling, PowerPoint decks...and the list goes on. We are all shells of our former selves left with nothing but existential dread and…GASP... free time.

Terrifying, right? I guess it depends on your perspective.

AI isn’t here to replace us; it’s here to take the soul crushing tasks off our plates so we can focus on what truly makes us human. Imagine a world where you spend less time drowning in emails and more time solving problems, building relationships, and doing creative, meaningful work.

In this talk, I’ll bust the myths about AI stealing jobs. I will uncover how it might shift our collective identities in good and maybe uncomfortable ways. But best of all I will explore how it can actually help us reclaim our humanity at work.

Stop panicking... the robot takeover is going to be much better for us than you think.
