100 predictions on what happens to work _After automation_

Every.to gathered 100 leaders to make predictions about work in 2027 under the theme "After automation." Key themes cluster around the rising value of human judgment, creativity, and relational skills as AI commoditizes execution. Specific predictions include wisdom work replacing knowledge work, questions mattering more than answers, and human distinctives like weirdness and aged intelligence gaining competitive premium. Several contributors warn that simply AI-ifying existing workflows will fail, and that design, culture, and organizational clock speed will outperform raw model capability. A live debate event for 400 attendees is planned at Pioneer Works in Brooklyn on November 5, 2026.
