As AI takes on not just what we do, but how we decide, create, and communicate — the question becomes how deeply we’ll remember what makes us human?

In this episode of The Future of Less Work, host Nirit Cohen sits down with Joe Hart, CEO of Dale Carnegie, and Matt Britton, CEO of Suzy and author of Generation AI, to explore how people can future-proof themselves in an AI-driven world. Together, they unpack what happens as AI redefines work—from the end of the knowledge economy to the rise of new “co-creation” roles where humans and machines work side by side.

Matt shares why creativity, curiosity, and problem-solving have become the new competitive edge, while Joe reveals why empathy, trust, and communication will matter more than ever for leaders navigating change. The conversation dives into how education and training must evolve, what leadership looks like when teams include both people and intelligent agents, and why agility and emotional intelligence—not technical mastery—will determine who thrives next.

If you’ve ever wondered how to stay relevant when machines can do almost everything, this is the episode to listen to.
