Humanity Working is a podcast focused on how new technology such as AI is changing the experience of work, and how humans can thrive in this new world.

The podcast is hosted by Paul Slater - Principal AI Technologist at Adobe Systems, often alongside Matt Neal - Innovation Leader at BeOne Medicines. We frequently feature authors, business leaders and top tier academics.
Join us as we navigate the ever-changing landscape of work.
