How do we prepare the next generation in a world where AI can out-think and out-create us? Mathematician and educator Po-Shen Loh argues that the real challenge isn’t what machines can take on; it’s what humans risk losing if we stop thinking for ourselves. The future of work, society, and the economy will depend less on technical skills and more on creativity, empathy, and the ability to solve problems together.

Through an unexpected mix of mathematics, empathy, and delight, Loh reveals a vision for education and workforce development to prepare us to tackle challenges we can’t yet imagine. You’ll leave seeing the potential of your talent differently, rethinking your team and workforce strategy, and discovering why cultivating a resilient, curious workforce may be the most important — and surprisingly joyful — work of our time.
