Monthly Macro: The Work AI Cannot Reach

The William Blair Thinking Podcast

About
Spanish economist and former Member of the European Parliament, Luis Garicano, Ph.D., joins William Blair macro analyst Richard de Chazal to discuss why AI is more likely to reshape jobs than replace them outright, arguing that the most valuable work combines cognitive, relational, and physical tasks that remain difficult to automate. He also discusses the implications for productivity, investing, education, and economic growth in an AI-driven economy.
