EVERY GENERATION MUST JOIN THE FIGHT
JANE FONDA, AT 86, is small-boned and elegant, her eyes like soft blue-gray flannel.

The digital labor revolution
OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, WE'VE WITNESSED advances in AI that have captured our imaginations with unprecedented capabilities in language and ingenuity. And yet, as impressive as these developments have been, they're only the opening act. We are now entering a new era of autonomous AI agents that take action on their own and augment the work of humans. This isn't just an evolution of technology.
