In 2016, Google’s AlphaGo AI system defeated the world Go champion, Lee Sedol, in a shocking exhibition that turned on what became known as “Move 37.” It was at this moment Sedol realized the machine had surpassed his own abilities, shown true creativity, and transformed the 4,000 year-old game.

What Sedol experienced in Go—his “Move 37”—is coming for every knowledge worker, in every industry.

AI is on a near-term path to surpass the average human at most cognitive tasks. And many AI researchers, including some leaders of Google DeepMind, believe AI systems will achieve superhuman levels at all cognitive tasks (i.e. better than the best humans) by the end of the decade.

What does this actually mean for the future of work?

In this session, AI author, podcaster and entrepreneur Paul Roetzer, explores the current capabilities of AI models, previews the potential AI advancements on the horizon, and shares what we can learn from the infamous “Move 37.”

This session will deliver invaluable perspectives, and provide hope and inspiration as we reimagine the future of work, creativity and human purpose.
