Transcript
In this episode, we sit down with workplace futurist Stuart Evans to explore AI, robotics, the future of work and what it all means for young people.
From agentic AI and humanoid robots to university debt, entry-level jobs, adaptability and the future of human skills, this is a conversation about what happens when work changes faster than our old systems can keep up.
Stuart challenges the idea that young people should simply follow the same paths as previous generations and argues that the most valuable future skills may not be technical at all – but deeply human.
Key takeaways
* Work is shifting from a place you go to something you do.
* AI assistants are only the start; agentic AI is the real shift.
* Repeatable tasks will increasingly move away from humans.
* Young people may be inheriting outdated career advice.
* Degrees won’t always be the best route to meaningful work.
* Adaptability may be the most important future skill.
* Humans tolerate human failure more easily than tech failure.
* Generation Alpha may redefine what work and success mean.
* The future may need fewer traditional jobs, but more human value.
* The big question is how humans and technology work together.
