Please join the Worcester Economic Club for How AI Is Reshaping Work: Implications for the Economy, Organizations, and Careers

AI is reorganizing work in fundamental ways. Companies will see gains through lower costs, higher output, and entirely new sources of value that weren't possible before. For individuals, the roles that thrive will be those with deep domain expertise, deep technical expertise, or the ability to orchestrate AI effectively. This talk will address how AI is reshaping jobs, organizations, and the broader economy, where the opportunities are heading, and how AI can serve as an Execution Partner, Knowledge Partner, and Thinking Partner for leaders navigating what comes next.
