Whose Jobs Does AI Really Replace?
from ASU+GSV Summit Sessions Hosted by ASU+GSV
Recorded live at the 2026 ASU+GSV Summit in San Diego, this session featured Matt Sigelman, President at Burning Glass Institute; Joseph Fuller, Professor of Management Practice at Harvard Business School; Allison Dulin Salisbury, CEO at Humanist Venture Studio; Shad Ahmed, Economic Mobility Lead at Anthropic; and Michael Horn, Author of Job Moves. The speakers examined the growing labor divide emerging between cognitive work that AI can automate and tacit work that remains deeply human. They explored which jobs were already seeing real displacement and which were being transformed, challenging common assumptions from analysts, CEOs, and workers about AI’s role in the workforce. The session also discussed how the geometry of organizations is changing as AI hollows out certain layers, what skills gain value as machines learn to reason, and who absorbs the transition costs of large-scale labor reallocation. Through this conversation, the panel unpacked how AI is reshaping work, organizational structures, and economic mobility in real time.
