The Human Edge: A conversation on AI and the future of work
Presented by Re-Work during Toronto Tech Week 2026
AI is moving faster than most people are ready for.
The productivity gains are real. But so are the consequences of that productivity. Since the industrial revolution, we’ve used productivity as a measure of the value and worth of an individual, it’s no wonder that the looming evolutionary threat of AI feels so scary for many modern workers. How do we respond to a future of work where productivity is achieved through agentic AI instead of human effort.
As a career and work wellbeing organization, we have thoughts.
In this curated and honest conversation we’ll discuss where work is heading and what that means for the people doing it. And the ways we’ll need to shift our thinking around work and productivity.
Join us for a keynote and facilitated discussion exploring the intersection of AI, automation, and human well-being. We'll get into the big picture and bring it back to what leaders and individuals can do to navigate the AI revolution in work.
