Reframe Venture Insights: Augmentation vs. Automation - AI’s Impact On The Workforce
Join us for Reframe Venture's quarterly Insights' call (open to the public).
What we'll discuss:
AI has caused much speculation around the future of work, with debate sparking over whether it will mostly augment humans or automate them away. The IMF estimates nearly 40% of global employment is exposed to AI, rising to ~60% in advanced economies; roughly half of exposed roles could see productivity gains, while the other half may face task replacement and reduced labour demand.
For VCs, this makes good governance less clear cut as considerations around cost structures, scalability, regulatory and reputational risk, longer-term inequality and political stability becomes more complex. Join us to unpack what investors should underwrite in an AI-shaped labour market.
