The AI Riff (Ep16) - The Future of Work

Hosts Kyle Meyers, Rob Katz, and Mario DiBenedetto, with guest Mike Moorehouse, tear into the myth that AI will “replace jobs.” Spoiler: it won’t—it’ll chip away at tasks, shake up workflows, and expose weak change management.The crew calls out lazy thinking (“just automate the job”) and reframes AI as a catalyst to redesign work itself—like word processors killing typing pools. Mario lays down a task-scoring framework (triggers, complexity, rules, exceptions) while Moorehouse warns of “AI anxiety” driving bad decisions and talent loss.The verdict: AI’s edge isn’t in mass layoffs, it’s in surgical automation + human-in-the-loop. Leaders who get this win. Those who don’t? Think Kodak when digital cameras hit.#AI #FutureOfWork #Automation #MortgageTech #Fintech
