As we move from a pre-AI era toward a future where AI permeates every aspect of life, we find ourselves at the start of a critical, transitional ‘bridge era’ – a time when employment, income, and the very structures of civilization are beginning to be transformed at an unprecedented pace… demanding a thoughtful, inventive, and proactive response.

We are a global network of experts and changemakers working together to help society navigate the transition of jobs, income, and purpose.

The Future of Employment and Income Institute is catalyzing real solutions and strategies in a time of exponential, unpredictable, and foundational change to mitigate new risks and seize new opportunities.
