KendraRamirez · x · 2026-10-17
Key takeaway from MAICON (Marketing AI Conference) in Cleveland: AI-driven work transformation is outpacing businesses, schools, and workforce systems. Andrew Yang (job disruption), Kevin Roose (shaping AI's future), Paul Roetzer (developing talent when AI does the learning work), and Karen Hao (human costs) all converged on one point: the conversation must go far beyond AI tools, before jobs disappear.
