A Futurist's Warning: "Work Is About to Break" - Amy Webb (Video)
In this 9 July 2026 published video, host Peter McCormack talks with Amy Lynn Webb, an American futurist, author and founder and CEO of the Future Today Strategy Group, to discuss why artificial intelligence is not just another technology shift, but a civilisation-level reordering of work, power, wealth, biology and society.
She is an adjunct assistant professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business, a nonresident senior fellow at Atlantic Council, and was a 2014–15 Visiting Nieman Fellow at Harvard University.
Webb explains why the real AI question is not simply which jobs disappear, but which people become vulnerable. We discuss thinkers vs. think-nots, why human capital may stop being the main driver of productivity and wealth, how GDP and unemployment could rise together, and why the economy may thrive while having less use for human labour.
We also get into China’s AI strategy, why governments are failing to plan for the transition, whether AI companies owe people for the data and knowledge they have absorbed, Amy’s idea of contribution credit, the limits of UBI, the future of synthetic biology and longevity, and why the current structures of regulation, politics and economics no longer make sense for the world we are entering.
