Posted by Flux on

A Salon presented by Bronwyn Williams & Sharon Pearce based on their book Surviving the AI (Job) Apocalypse.

We are living in a time where the future is no longer something far off – it has already arrived.

It seems like everything around us is now powered or created by AI – from news and images to videos and even autonomous competitors. AI is rapidly transforming and permeating every part of our world.

There was a time when skills, relationships and business were able to accomplish everything necessary for a thriving 21st-century workplace or workforce; however, this foundation is shifting beneath our feet.

That is why Futurist Bronwyn Williams and Solutionist Sharon Pearce have combined their expertise to create the “Survive the AI Apocalypse: From Fear to Solutionism” salon.

This salon helps you lean into that shift, not with anxiety or fear, but with agency and clarity. It is not about merely surviving in an AI-driven world – it is about thriving with AI and embracing your role as solutionists.

What will you gain?

This trend briefing reframes the AI conversation:

  • It breaks through the apocalyptic narrative to reveal a path of strategic adaptation, not resistance.
  • It guides you toward co-evolution with AI, transforming it from an existential threat to an invaluable ally.
  • It helps you retool your mindset and skills for a world where discernment, context, and innovation matter more than ever.

Why it matters

  • For individuals, it will develop the mindset and expertise to stay relevant and irreplaceable.
  • For organisations, it will foster cultures that see AI as a collaborative entity, not a disruptor.
  • For societies, it will shift from AI apprehension to AI-enabled progress, creating new value systems and futures.

The AI Apocalypse is not coming; it is already here!

Don’t survive it. Lead through it. Thrive through it!
