AI is the New Calculator (And It Won't Steal Your Job)
from We Live to Build
Is AI coming for your job? According to 25-year product veteran Ben Foster, we've seen this movie before. This video explains why AI is the New Calculator (And It Won't Steal Your Job). Just as the calculator didn't eliminate accountants but instead gave the best ones massive leverage, AI will not replace the most valuable professionals—it will make them worth their weight in platinum. This is a masterclass on the future of product management and knowledge work. You'll learn why AI's greatest strength is in analysis, not true creativity, and why the most critical skill in the next decade will be your human judgment to know when the AI is right and when it's wrong.
