THE AI SHIFT - What Happens When AI Becomes Part of Every Job?

Friday 23 October 2026 | 06:45 AM

AI is no longer something on the horizon. It is becoming part of the way we work, lead and build teams. So what happens when AI becomes part of almost every job?

Featuring Professor Marcus Randall from Bond University, the conversation will move beyond the technology to explore the bigger questions facing employers, educators and the next generation.

Marcus is uniquely placed to lead this conversation. As the designer of Bond University’s new Bachelor of Enterprise AI, he is helping shape how the next generation learns to work alongside AI - moving beyond simply understanding the technology to exploring how it can transform the way we think, lead, innovate and create value.

And that raises a bigger question - what becomes more valuable when AI can do more of the technical work?

The conversation will explore:

• What will tomorrow’s leaders need to be good at?
• Which human skills will become more valuable as AI becomes part of everyday work?
• What skills will matter most when AI can take on more technical tasks?
• Are we preparing young people for future jobs or for a future where jobs themselves are constantly evolving?
• How can business and education work together to develop the next generation of adaptable leaders?

Come ready to challenge your thinking, ask questions and consider what the future of work could look like.
