This RealClearMarkets article by Rachel Zaslansky Sheer and Lori Zuker Briller argues that artificial intelligence will not diminish human value, but amplify the traits that make people essential. Drawing on their experience as recruiters, the authors frame AI as a catalyst for adaptability, creativity, emotional intelligence and more meaningful work.
In this RealClearMarkets article, Rachel Zaslansky Sheer and Lori Zuker Briller challenge fear-driven narratives about AI replacing workers. Instead, they argue that technological disruption has historically created new forms of work and that AI is already shifting hiring toward qualities such as imagination, adaptability, perspective and integrity. As co-founders of The Grapevine and authors of Straight from the Grapevine, Sheer and Briller bring a recruiter’s perspective to how companies are rethinking talent across entertainment, fashion, technology and beyond.
