What are the Human Skills in an AI World with Tatyana Mamut

As AI becomes capable of doing not just the work of our hands but also the
thinking of our minds, one question looms large: what remains uniquely
human?
In this episode of The Future of Less Work, host Nirit Cohen sits down with
Dr. Tatyana Mamut — economic anthropologist and CEO of Wayfound — to explore
the human value add in the age of AI. Together, they unpack how judgment,
taste, trust, and relationships form the foundation of real value at work,
and why replacing people with agents can strip away the very essence that
makes an organization thrive.
Tatyana shares how her company helps leaders navigate the “multisapiens
workplace,” where humans and AI agents work side by side. She explains why
AI should eliminate inhuman work, not human jobs — freeing people to focus
on creativity, connection, and purpose — and how leaders must redesign
management and culture to reflect this shift.
The conversation moves from the classroom to the boardroom, covering why
education must emphasize human skills, how AI can become a trusted
collaborator rather than a threat, and why the future manager may oversee
teams made up mostly of intelligent agents.
If you’ve ever wondered what role humans will play when machines can do
almost everything else — and how to redefine leadership, purpose, and
meaning in that world — this episode is your guide to what makes us human in
the age of AI.
