AI agents are spreading like wildfire across organizations. Their capabilities are rapidly increasing, covering an ever larger portion of previously human labor. It is estimated that 90% of the workforce will need to be reskilled in the coming years, causing one of the largest shifts of human labor in history. This doesn't mean we humans are useless. It means we have to reinvent our roles and contributions to society.
