What will people "do" when AIs can do almost everything?

In this clear-eyed exploration of automation, AI and human purpose, Stephen Wolfram argues that we're not witnessing the end of work—but a shift in what we consider valuable human activity. Just as industrial machines redefined labor in the past, today's AIs are changing which tasks we delegate and which ones we reserve for ourselves. The future of human contribution lies not in competition with machines, but in defining goals, framing meaning and operating at a symbolic level that computation alone can't reach.

Will AIs Take All Our Jobs and End Human History—or Not? Well, It's Complicated... reexamines a familiar fear as a deeper question: not whether we'll be replaced, but how we'll evolve.
