Much of the conversation around AI and work has centered on a single question: Will AI take my job? It’s an understandable concern. Every week AI becomes increasingly more capable. We see AI summarizing meetings, generating content, analyzing data, writing software and automating workflows that once required significant human effort. Agentic AI is also becoming more established in the workplace, with virtual agents that can reason, plan and act across workflows. As those capabilities continue to improve, many employees are looking at the tasks they perform every day and wondering how much longer they will belong to them. I believe that question reveals a bigger issue that has little to do with the technology itself.

Full argument : AI may automate your tasks, but your real value lies in the purpose, judgment and impact behind your role — not the work itself.
