SparkUp: AI Advancements: Will Humans Have to Work?

​The traditional 9-to-5 grind may soon be a relic of the past as automation, AI, and cutting-edge technology are increasingly taking over most jobs, leaving humanity to redefine its relationship with work. As machines continue to outperform humans in various tasks, we’re faced with a future that may not require us to work and where more humans than ever can spend time finding purpose in their lives.

​In this SparkUp, we’ll dive into the intriguing concept of a Post-Labor Economic Society—exploring whether such a future is attainable, and if so, how and when it might come to be. We’ll examine the profound shifts in the workforce, the emergence of new economic models, and the societal transformations that could accompany this seismic change. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the future of work, purpose, and what it means to be human in an age where AI might do it all.Discussion points may include:

• ​Automation and Job Displacement vs. Transformation
