Expert advice and cutting-edge discoveries from one of the world’s leading business schools.

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;This week on The Insightful Leader, we&#039;re bringing you an episode of &quot;Life, Automated&quot;—a new podcast from Kellogg&#039;s Ryan Institute on Complexity. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Join host Jess Love as she attempts to answer the question on everyone&#039;s lips: Will AI actually take over every job ever? &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Kellogg economist &lt;a href= &quot;https://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/academics-research/faculty/jones_benjamin_f/&quot;&gt; Ben Jones&lt;/a&gt; doesn&#039;t think so.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Drawing from historical evidence around innovation, Jones argues that automation never conquers everything—it inevitably creates operational bottlenecks that only humans can solve. By leaning into these bottlenecks, we can protect meaningful, well-paid work.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;But his optimism comes with a stark caveat: there is one nightmare scenario where this historical pattern breaks down entirely. And it doesn&#039;t involve superintelligence. It involves mediocre AI.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;For more Life, Automated:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;a href= &quot;https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/life-automated/id6783436225&quot;&gt; Apple&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;a href= &quot;https://open.spotify.com/show/033xjszKSM4gg7avqiJQdC?si=28998cbe148e48a4&quot;&gt; Spotify&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
