AI Didn’t Steal Your Job—It Asked for a Raise
👋 Hi, I am Mark. I am a strategic futurist and innovation keynote speaker. I advise governments and enterprises on emerging technologies such as AI or the metaverse. My subscribers receive a free weekly newsletter on cutting-edge technology.

AI isn’t replacing your job, it’s outperforming it, negotiating a raise, and asking your boss if it can run the team.

  • AI-savvy industries see 3x growth per employee.
  • Skills shift 66% faster in AI roles.
  • Women dominate AI-exposed jobs globally.
