Daniel Susskind is best known for clarifying what technological change actually means, beyond hype, fear, or false certainty.

An economist and leading thinker on the future of work, Daniel examines how advances in artificial intelligence and automation reshape tasks, organisations, and entire labour markets. His work focuses not on whether technology will change work, but on how, where, and for whom value will be created as machines become increasingly capable.

His relevance to board-level audiences lies in decision-grade realism. Daniel challenges simplistic narratives of job loss or job creation, showing instead how work is unbundled into tasks, how power shifts between labour and capital, and why institutions built for the 20th century struggle to cope with 21st-century technology. He brings clarity to questions of productivity, inequality, skills, and social contract, without speculation or ideology.

As the author of A World Without Work and The Future of the Professions, Daniel equips leaders to think clearly about strategy, workforce design, and policy in an economy where intelligence is no longer scarce.
