Work in the Age of Infinite Agents
The AI Daily Brief: Artificial Intelligence News and Analysis
Jobs, Tasks and New Expectations
Levie argues AI will turn jobs into collections of tasks requiring oversight, raising expectations and creating new work.
Most AI discussions focus on speed and automation, but a deeper question is scale. In this episode, NLW reads and analyzes essays by Ivan Zhao and Aaron Levie that argue AI agents change the limits of knowledge work itself—allowing organizations to operate beyond human rhythms, meetings, and bottlenecks. The conversation explores why this transition feels uncomfortable, why copying human workflows is a dead end, and what comes after.
