Humanity Working
Humanity Working is a podcast focused on how new technology such as AI is changing the experience of work, and how humans can thrive in this new world.
Each episode we explore what is changing, how it is affecting the way work gets done, and the impact it has on the people doing work - with a particular focus on those who have a creative aspect to their work.
The podcast is hosted by Paul Slater - Principal AI Technologist at Adobe Systems, often alongside Matt Neal - Innovation Leader at BeOne Medicines. We frequently feature authors, business leaders and top tier academics.
Join us as we navigate the ever-changing landscape of work.

Changes are coming to Humanity Working. In this episode, Paul and Matt share what’s next: a new format designed for the way we all actually listen and learn. Every Tuesday, we will be dropping "Quick Fixes"—short, focused episodes that tackle one idea at a time, from mentoring and networking to resilience and adaptability.
Continue to look out for interviews as bonus episodes from time to time, but Quick Fixes will keep you learning in a fast, practical, and built-for-real-life format.Five Key Learnings:
- So-called soft skills—adaptability, resilience, empathy, communication—are anything but soft; they’re the core of effective, modern work.
- People use many labels for them: human skills, durable skills, power skills—each reflecting their long-term value.
- These skills are hard to categorize because they cross boundaries between personality, behavior, and capability.
- Unlike technical skills, they aren’t learned once; they develop through reflection, feedback, and deliberate daily practice.
- Quick Fix will explore these skills in short, actionable episodes to make building them a daily habit.
Humanity Working is a podcast focused on helping individuals, teams and organizations be ready for the future of work by maximizing their human potential.
