The United States stands at a defining crossroads. The engines of growth that powered the last century were industrial power, productivity, and global expansion. Artificial Intelligence and automation are changing these engines.

“AI and the future of work in the United States” isn’t just about new technologies. It’s about how intelligent technologies are reshaping the labor market, the nature of opportunity, and the meaning of work itself.

The world of work is shifting faster than at any point in modern history. Artificial Intelligence is no longer an experiment running quietly in the background — it’s here, reshaping industries, redefining roles, and re-wiring what it means to contribute. But “AI and future of work” isn’t just about machines. It’s about us — our capacity to adapt, to create, and to bring purpose back into the center of productivity.

Wellbeing. For centuries, it was narrowly defined — the absence of illness, the maintenance of physical health. Over time, it grew to include mental health, emotional resilience, and more recently, social and environmental dimensions. Today, the very meaning of wellbeing is evolving yet again. It’s no longer just about self-care or balance; it’s about how we, as humans, relate to the systems around us — economic, cultural, planetary. 

The future of work isn’t waiting politely in the wings — it’s sprinting toward us at breakneck speed. Technology is evolving faster than most leaders can process, industries are being reshaped in real time, and academic institutions are scratching their heads wondering if their current programs will be obsolete before the next graduating class crosses the stage.
