ABOUT THIS EPISODE

How Taskrabbit is Changing Work | Fortune Daily

AI might be able to write code and draft résumés, but can it mount your television or build your furniture?

From the Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit in Santa Barbara, TaskRabbit CEO Ania Smith joins Fortune Daily to discuss why hands-on, physical labor remains firmly in human hands—and how long that advantage will last as robotics advances.

Plus, Alphabet President and CIO Ruth Porat sits down with Fortune Editor-in-Chief Allyson Shontell to share crucial lessons from the 2008 financial crisis, issuing a direct warning to business leaders: the single biggest corporate vulnerability right now is failing to innovate with AI. And later, Fortune Executive Editorial Director Diane Brady interviews GoodRx CEO Wendy Barnes.
