A few weeks ago, I ticked out a big bucket list item of mine – I keynoted the IEEE conference! Here is a summary of my session:

♟️ In 1997, Deep Blue beat Gary Kasparov.
⚫ In 2016, AlphaGo beat Lee Sedol.
➗ In 2025, GPT solved Math Olympiad problems.

Every time, humanity was “doomed.” 🔥

And every time – we adapted, evolved, and led again.

The next chapter? 📑

🤖 AI assistants and agents are becoming part of our daily workflows.
🧑‍🏭 Workers are shifting from writing text to curating intent, from syntax to context, from task execution to strategic design.

We’re not disappearing.

We’re moving up the stack – to creativity, empathy, and leadership.

Spatial computing, quantum breakthroughs, neural linking, robotics, and fusion energy are not replacing us.

They’re amplifying us.

By 2040, we’ll still have 🧑‍⚕️ doctors, 🧑‍⚖️ lawyers, and 🧑‍🔬 engineers – but they’ll be augmented, accelerated, and inspired by AI.

🌍 The future of work isn’t man or machine. It’s man with machine, building what’s next – together.
