AI and the Future of Work

mercredi 16 juillet 2025 • Durée 21:56

What is the future of human work, in the coming age of Artificial intelligence?

Over the past two years, we've spoken with innovators around the world whose work has impacted medicine, engineering, education, the law and more. In each case we've talked about the future of work in their particular profession, and asked: what's uniquely human, that AI will never replace?

In this special compilation episode you’ll hear extracts from these interviews, which describe the seismic change and disruption that is now upon us, and their vision for our future collaboration with machines.

This episode explores how AI is reshaping—not replacing—human work. It reframes the future of work as a shift from tasks to craft, from automation to augmentation. It emphasizes human strengths—contextual judgment, relational intelligence, neurodivergent insight—and highlights how AI amplifies rather than substitutes these capabilities.

Practical ideas like “task archaeology” and agile experimentation are offered for both individuals and organizations. Ultimately, it argues that empathy, not efficiency, is the most resilient human edge — and that co-evolution with AI depends on how we design, lead, and connect.

Lyssa Adkins - Agility and leadership coach

mercredi 5 juillet 2023 • Durée 36:49

Do you ever get frustrated at work because everything keeps changing? Your boss is being demanding. Your client changes their mind (again). Interest rates go up. There's a war on the other side of the planet. Someone sneezed and you caught it. Stuff happens.

Lyssa Adkins got frustrated being a project manager in a big organisation with ever more complicated projects. So frustrated she threw in the towel. It was a crisis moment. And then, almost accidentally, she discovered a new way to get things done.

The podcast charts her course from stressed-out manager to happy and successful author and an 'agility and leadership coach'. Today Lyssa works with leaders and teams that are making their own journey to agile ways of working. It's an approach that she believes can also help us tackle some of the world's most intractable problems.

John Ellis - Eye surgeon

jeudi 15 juin 2023 • Durée 33:55

Health systems around the world are under strain. In the UK, post-pandemic backlogs in the NHS are at an unprecedented level, particularly for elective (non-emergency) procedures.

Nowhere is innovation more needed - or more challenging, given the scale and complexity of the NHS. So here's a welcome good news story: cataract surgery in Scotland is receiving a boost of innovation pioneered in Dundee.

Opthalmologist Dr John Ellis and his team have been using six-sigma techniques to achieve dramatic gains in productivity. And unlike so many other innovations dreamed up in Dundee, this one is not driven by technology. It is an essentially human story of teamwork and team spirit.

If you’re interested in high-performing teams, the future of healthcare professions, or the ups and downs of life as an innovator then I encourage you to listen to this episode. And if you’re inspired by Dr Ellis and his team, do share it with your colleagues and friends.

Ted Zoli - Bridge designer

mardi 25 avril 2023 • Durée 38:49

Theodore P. Zoli, III is one of the bridge engineering and design industry's most recognised American figures, and the first structural engineer to receive the prestigious MacArthur Foundation 'genius' Award. In this podcast interview he talks about his life and career story and how this led him to focus on new areas for innovation in bridges. Some careers seem to have a sense of destiny, or even inevitability, and this is one of those intriguing stories.

Zoli is a man on a mission, building bridges with a strong sense of "taking public dollars for public good", and his choice of creative artefact (a feature of these podcasts) reveals a deeply-held philosophy of engineering and design, rooted in age-old ideas. In his view, new technology has failed to deliver some of its expected benefits and an overly-scientific mindset has limited our ability to see where innovation is really needed. Ted Zoli talks about the uniquely human skills needed for the bridges of the future.

A podcast about the lives and careers of creative people, technology, and the future of work.

With Jonathan Winter.

Bill Drayton - Social entrepreneur

vendredi 28 juin 2024 • Durée 34:49

Bill Drayton is one of the world's greatest innovators for the public good. His life has, directly or indirectly, touched millions of people around the world.

Drayton traces his values and motivation to his family's roots in the Puritans and Quakers of New England, the rebel confidence especially of women including his mother, and the influence of some of the C20th Century's most significant figures. These range from presidents and business leaders to civil rights pioneers and Gandhian philosophers.

This is his story, and an introduction to the ideas he and his colleagues at Ashoka - the organisation he founded in 1980 - have been building for many years. They are ideas for how to change the world for the better through social entrepreneurship, conscious empathy, and the ability for everyone to be a change-maker.

Koen Timmers - Education technologist

mardi 30 avril 2024 • Durée 35:08

What does it take to build a global network of millions of people taking action around a cause you care about? The story of Koen Timmers reveals some of the practical ways.

In this case the cause is climate change, the network is teachers and students, and the innovation includes a clever app for building community and measuring impact.

Koen tells how he gradually evolved this work from his humble beginnings in a family of teachers and a curiosity about technology, to a point where his work has been recognised in both the worlds of education (he was a top-ten finalist for the Global Teacher Prize) and climate action (supported by David Attenborough and others).

Today with Jennifer Williams and the team at Take Action Global, Koen Timmers is continuing to build this movement towards even greater scale and impact.

His story will encourage anyone who aspires to achieve great things and who is willing to muster the patience to invest and evolve over years or even decades.

Shaun Fitzgerald - Climate engineer

mardi 12 mars 2024 • Durée 39:58

Climate scientist Shaun Fitzgerald OBE is director of the Centre for Climate Repair at the University of Cambridge (UK), and a former director of the Royal Institution.

As an innovator, Dr Fitzgerald founded and led a company 'Breathing Buildings Ltd', pioneering new ways to ventilate buildings that can halve energy bills.

More recently, responding to worsening climate forecasts and the fear of tipping points, his work has focused on 'climate repair' which includes trials of technologies to brighten clouds, obstruct warm sea currents and even refreeze the arctic.
