Much of the conversation around AI focuses on what it will do to our jobs. Zack Kass argues we may be asking the wrong question. In this new TEDx talk, he looks beyond the future of work to consider the future of living, and how AI could improve the quality and affordability of everyday life.

Drawing on the history of technological progress, Zack explores how innovation has repeatedly made essential goods and services more accessible, and how AI and automation could accelerate that trend by making intelligence and labor more abundant and less expensive. He considers what this could mean for essentials like housing, healthcare, and education, while also examining what happens when work becomes less central to our lives and where we find purpose, identity, and meaning when technology takes over more of what we once had to do ourselves.

Ultimately, Zack brings the conversation back to a simple idea: solving the future of work means little if we fail to solve the future of living.
