Great article. I agree that the people who stand to be most impacted by reduced earning potential through the uptake of AI and automation need to actively engage in the agenda of determining what the future of work should look like. We need to become more mindful in our buying choices, deliberately seeking "human" experiences as this will lead to businesses adapting their offerings accordingly. If we insist on "human" in the way we live our lives and spend our money, then surely we will get a more human-centric future of work.

There's an interesting transcript of a McKinsey interview with Andrew McAfee from MIT where he suggests two concurrent themes in emergence. AI should be designed to provide a seamless transaction for consumers, so that they don't know they're using it, whilst in parallel, business needs to recognise that customer experience is paramount and that the rise of the experience economy (experientialism) will increasingly shape our buying decisions.
