It is not really a joke. It is actually a really important economics question hiding inside all the noise about AI and jobs right now. And the honest answer is: nobody knows. Not the researchers. Not the CEOs. Not Sam Altman, who last weekend published a set of guiding principles for OpenAI built around something he calls “democratization” while the rest of Silicon Valley spent the same week announcing more layoffs and...]]></description><link>https://www.rochesterai.org/post/if-ai-takes-everyone-s-job-who-s-going-to-buy-the-garbage-plates</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69f0dadae1a06255b5044b81</guid><pubDate>Tue, 28 Apr 2026 16:19:18 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/010fdd_dec3ee7199ff4cd69d589d317cff028e~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_677,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Rochester AI</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your Employees Aren’t Resisting AI. They Just Have No Idea What to Do With It.]]></title><description><![CDATA[There’s a conversation happening in boardrooms and conference rooms across Rochester right now. A leader — maybe it’s you — stands up and says something like, “We need to get our people up to speed on AI.” Everyone nods. Someone asks if a program can be built in house. Someone mentions free links available from Microsoft or Anthropic. A team- usually L&#38;D - takes an 'action item' to come back with a rollout plan. Sound familiar? Here’s what the data says is actually happening on the other side...]]></description><link>https://www.rochesterai.org/post/your-employees-aren-t-resisting-ai-they-just-have-no-idea-what-to-do-with-it</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69e0da67bd4edb574fd3ed9a</guid><pubDate>Thu, 16 Apr 2026 12:59:02 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Rochester AI</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[State of the Global Workplace 2026: AI Isn’t the Problem. Your People Just Aren't Ready Yet.]]></title><description><![CDATA[Let me save you a few hours and give you the part that matters. Companies have spent billions on AI. Most of them are not seeing results. Not small results. No results. Almost 90% of leaders say AI has not improved productivity in their organization. Only 12% of employees say it has actually changed how work gets done. That’s not a technology issue. That’s a people issue. What This Means for Small Businesses and Nonprofits If you’re running a smaller organization, this should actually give...]]></description><link>https://www.rochesterai.org/post/state-of-the-global-workplace-2026-ai-isn-t-the-problem-your-people-just-aren-t-ready-yet</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69d6b8d00b7119100dfec637</guid><pubDate>Wed, 08 Apr 2026 20:31:57 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Rochester AI</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The AI Rules Fight: Who Gets to Set the Law?]]></title><description><![CDATA[What’s Actually Happening with AI Regulation in the U.S. Right now, there is no single national law governing how companies can use AI. States have been stepping in to fill this gap. California, Colorado, Texas, New York, and others have all passed their own AI rules. This has created what the Trump administration calls “a patchwork of 50 different regulatory regimes” that companies must navigate. The White House aims to address this issue with one national standard that would override all...]]></description><link>https://www.rochesterai.org/post/the-ai-rules-fight-who-gets-to-set-the-law</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69c9856baf19906fa17aae26</guid><pubDate>Sun, 29 Mar 2026 20:04:17 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Rochester AI</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reckoning]]></title><description><![CDATA[What I labelled as anxiety in AI transformation turned out to be grief. That realization changes everything about how we respond. March 2026 What Prompted This What prompted me to write this was a realization I kept circling back to in my own work. What I had been labeling as anxiety in the organizations I worked with, and if I am honest, in myself, was something else entirely. It was grief. The old world of work was dying. And nobody was naming it as a loss. We were treating a goodbye as a...]]></description><link>https://www.rochesterai.org/post/reckoning</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69ab116fb5dd05873349a609</guid><pubDate>Fri, 06 Mar 2026 17:53:30 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/010fdd_2df1ea0124ed405b92d73d9d95e9e006~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Rochester AI</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
