Artificial intelligence is changing the way we work—but will it make work more meaningful or less meaningful?
In this episode of Speaking of Meaning, I sit down with Alejandra Rojas, a PhD researcher in business development and technology, to explore how AI, robotics, and digital transformation are reshaping leadership, workplace culture, and the employee experience.
We discuss why meaningful work is deeply personal, why trust and psychological safety matter more than ever, and how leaders can introduce AI in ways that empower employees instead of creating fear.
Alejandra explains why meaning isn't found only in promotions or achievements—it often comes from everyday moments, supportive relationships, and feeling that your work matters. We also explore the importance of autonomy, agency, integrity, and AI literacy as organizations prepare for the future of work.
