Summary of Jamie Merisotis' Human Work in the Age of Smart Machines

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The future of work is being talked about a lot these days. It seems that almost every article, book, and video about the future of work focuses on the effects technology is having on all types of jobs and how artificial intelligence will eliminate many of them.

#2 It’s not helpful or correct to frame the issue as job loss. It’s really about job change and displacement, and how we prepare people for an inevitable future in which they need to be more flexible, adaptable, and prepared for whatever opportunities present themselves.

#3 The future of work is going to be filled with human work, and technology is going to be a complement to what humans bring to the work, not a replacement for them.

#4 The future of work is going to be completely changed by the automation of repetitive tasks. Not all work can be automated, and not all jobs can be replaced by smart machines. The nonrepetitive work that machines cannot do is what we need to focus on.
