AI Won’t Take Your Job (But It Might Change It)

Harvard Data Science Review Podcast

Will AI replace us, reshape our work, or create opportunities we’ve never imagined? For this month’s episode experts Ben Waber and Raffaella Sadun join the podcast to help us cut through the hype and discuss AI’s real impact on jobs, skills, and organizations. Drawing from research and industry experience, they tackle the myths of total automation, the need for firm-specific experimentation, and the evolving skills and management strategies required in the age of AI.

Join us as we take a pragmatic look at the challenges and opportunities as AI transforms how we work.
