In this episode of Work Rewired, we bring you a thought-provoking panel discussion from the Reshaping Work Conference 2024 in Amsterdam, chaired by Isabel Berwick of the Financial Times. The panel features leading voices from academia, industry, and the creative world: Lior Zalmanson (Tel Aviv University), Roger Werkhoven (creative director and AI pioneer), Anastasia Sergeeva (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam), and Claire Lebarz (Chief Data & AI Officer at Malt).
Together, they explore pressing questions at the intersection of AI and expertise: Which human skills will remain indispensable in an AI-driven world? What new forms of expertise will emerge alongside intelligent systems? How do we balance trust and overreliance on AI, and what does this mean for creativity, management, and professional judgment?
The discussion ranges from AI’s role in reconfiguring expert work in fields such as hiring, agriculture, and policing, to its impact on creative industries and the rise of “super adopters” who are shaping the future of jobs. The panel also considers how technology design choices influence critical thinking, trust, and the value of human judgment.
Whether you are a researcher, business leader, or professional coping with rapid workplace changes, this episode offers fresh insights into how we can harness AI while preserving, and redefining, the essence of human expertise.
