Summary

Four companies launched AI coworkers in a single week, all designed to sit alongside the world’s knowledge workers. At the same time, new data from OpenAI co-founder Andrej Karpathy maps which roles are most exposed. Is this where the shift begins?  Hosted by Magnus Oxenwaldt, VP Group AI at Columbus.  Highlights week 12:   Microsoft, Google, Anthropic and Perplexity launched AI coworkers built for knowledge workers.  These systems execute tasks across tools, moving from assistance to workflow automation.  New data shows 42% of jobs are highly exposed, especially high-paid, screen-based roles.  Enterprise software is being repriced as AI reduces the need for multiple tools and licences.  AI vendor choice is becoming a strategic and geopolitical consideration.  Hosted on Acast.
