Smarter Machines, Exhausted Humans?

Are we designing a future of work that humans can actually sustain?

In this timely webinar, anthropologist Rahaf Harfoush explores a growing paradox at the heart of modern leadership: as technology makes work more efficient, it also increases the cognitive and creative demands placed on people. The result? Smarter systems, but more exhausted humans.

Together, we’ll examine how the rise of knowledge work, constant connectivity, and AI-driven expectations are reshaping what it means to perform, create, and lead. Why are so many high performers feeling stretched beyond capacity—and what does that signal about the way we work today?
