  • How AI and Technology Are Redefining Work in the Post-Pandemic World with Claudia Strauss

    How AI and Technology Are Redefining Work in the Post-Pandemic World with Claudia Strauss
    Sep 19 2024
    In this episode of This Anthro Life, host Adam Gamwell talks with anthropologist Claudia Strauss about how #AI, #technology, and the #postpandemic world are reshaping the nature of work in America. They explore crucial topics such as the impact of declining birth rates, an aging population, and restrictive immigration policies on labor markets. Drawing from Strauss’s book, What Work Means Beyond the Puritan Work Ethic, they discuss changing worker attitudes, the rise of #remotework and the #gigeconomy, and challenge the conventional narratives around the #workethic. Together, they delve into how anthropology provides unique insights into #workplaceculture, the human side of technology, and the evolving definition of a "good job" in the modern economy.

    I'm Adam Gamwell as a cultural anthropologist and award-winning media creator, I specialize in storytelling. My diverse background spans startups, nonprofits, cultural organizations, and Fortune 1000 companies, focusing on applied strategy, experience design, and human insights.

    Sep 13 2024
    In this episode of This Anthro Life, we’ll dive into how anthropology is reshaping tech investment by examining human culture and its influence on innovation. You'll discover how the deep study of culture helps forecast market trends, understand AI (artificial intelligence) and its cultural implications, and inform smarter investment decisions. We’ll explore why private equity firms are hiring anthropologists and why venture capital should follow suit. With insights into consumer behavior, organizational dynamics, and cultural change, this episode delves into how ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategies are influenced by anthropological intelligence. We also cover the role of business strategy in navigating today’s technological landscape, exploring how cultural anthropology can reveal the symbolic value and market intelligence that form a company’s cultural moat. Featuring renowned anthropologists Genevieve Bell and Gillian Tett, we uncover why cultural intelligence is essential in our fast-evolving world.
