AI will change all our lives — and especially the world of work — to such an extent that it can be assumed that many, if not most professions will disappear. We have no language for the depth of intelligence soon to arrive. And yet so far, there has still been no broad discussion on this issue.

AI isn't just disrupting coders — it’s disrupting meaning itself. When high-skill work is automated, it's not just the experts who need to adapt. Where does purpose come from in a world where machines can do everything we do, better, faster and cheaper?
