Work Like a Mother: Jess Von Bank on AI and the Human Contract

This week Jess Von Bank joined Robin and Michael to talk about her new book, Mother of Disruption: Reshaping the Human Contract in the Age of AI, the maternal lens she wrote it through, and why the employees companies label as AI resisters are more often people who’ve sat through too many transformations that changed nothing. The conversation also covers a feminist wheat farmer from North Dakota, a working title that didn’t survive editing, and the case for measuring the quality of people’s working lives as closely as the capabilities of the tech.

You can find the book here and through independent booksellers. The audiobook is due in early December, and Jess writes regularly on both LinkedIn and Substack.
