Jamie Merisotis, author of the award-winning 2016 book America Needs Talent, argues that people will coexist with smart machines by learning, earning, and serving others over their lifetimes. But Merisotis asserts large-scale change is necessary to develop and hone the knowledge, skills, and abilities that render us uniquely human. These qualities include compassion, critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and interpersonal communication. In Human Work, Merisotis proposes radically different approaches to making learning available that expands human capabilities in the age of smart machines - approaches that give meaning and purpose to a broader range of human work.
