Will AI take your job — or make you better at it?

Written by Defending Ideas

May 13, 2025

New technology can profoundly change our lives, and artificial intelligence is no exception. But as AI becomes more ubiquitous, especially in the workplace, will its impact be more innovative or disruptive?

On this episode of Defending Ideas, host Nic Dunn is joined by AEI Senior Fellow Brent Orrell. Brent offers an optimistic yet grounded vision of how the advent of AI can positively affect the future. They discuss how AI is reshaping the world of work and why — if it’s properly leveraged — this new technology could become a huge accelerator for human productivity and flourishing.
