# Platformer's Limited Series on AI and the Future of Work

> Platformer is running a limited series on the question everyone in an office is quietly asking: is AI going to take the job, or just change it? The newsletter is gathering perspectives from tech leaders, researchers, and policymakers, and the early contributions capture how unsettled the debate remains. The disagreement is stark even among insiders. Box CEO Aaron Levie argues that last-mile human judgment and context are stubbornly resistant to automation, so roles shift rather than vanish. Anthropic's Boris Cherny is blunter, predicting significant job losses alongside the creation of new kinds of work. Both can be partly right, which is exactly what makes planning for it so hard. The politics are catching up too. The series notes that Democrats are expected to campaign on slowing data-center buildouts or protecting workers, a sign that AI's labor effects are moving from think-piece to ballot issue. For readers, it is a level-headed place to track a story that will shape careers long before the economists agree on what happened.
