AI is transforming the way we work—but exactly how and when the biggest advances will play out is still uncertain.

To better understand both the timeline and the nature of these changes, Slack’s Workforce Lab convened a panel of 30 leading academic experts in artificial intelligence. These thinkers span a wide range of disciplines—including economics, computer science, law, policy, and ethics—and represent some of the world’s top academic institutions.

What’s your number one piece of advice to business leaders?

Prioritize personal experimentation! It's very common for busy executives to try AI tools just a few times and then miss how rapidly capabilities are advancing.

Associate Professor, MIT Sloan School of Management and NBER, Research AssociateJohn Horton

Don’t lose sight of organizational culture. Even if your headcount substantially reduces, you still need people who want to show up at work.

Professor of Engineering, Northwestern UniversityElizabeth Gerber

 

Create space and resources for employees to experiment with AI tools, and make this experimentation a key criterion of job success.

Associate Professor of Marketing, Boston UniversityAndrey Fradkin
