The CEO of freelancing website Upwork on managing artificial intelligence in the workforce and creating a more equitable future.

In the future we may all be hooked up to stationary bicycles, like hamsters on a wheel, generating electricity for the Matrix, earning credits for food and lodging while watching reality TV game shows, reruns of Black Mirror and porn.
