The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence is transforming the future of work from a process of gradual skill acquisition to one of near-instant capability. In I Know Kung Fu: The Future of Work in the Era of AI, Counto CEO Ishi Singh presents a structured framework for understanding this change, breaking down work into four core roles—trust, expertise,
experience, and action—and analysing how AI impacts each dimension.

Through compelling, real-world case studies, Singh illustrates key moments where AI has surpassed human capability, from “vibe coding” the majority of application code to deploying autonomous agents that execute operational workflows without human oversight. He explores how AI can replicate years of professional experience by synthesising knowledge from vast datasets and delivering actionable insights at unprecedented speed.

The session further examines the uneven nature of AI’s impact: why client- facing roles may experience incremental productivity gains, while process-heavy backend roles face higher automation potential—especially in large, specialised organisations. Singh also highlights the broader economic opportunity: with AI absorbing and distributing global expertise, businesses and nations have a unique moment to build localised industries, develop nation-specific platforms, and integrate highly skilled talent exiting large corporations into new growth sectors.

Attendees will gain a clear, practical perspective on which human skills will remain indispensable, which can be augmented or replaced by AI, and how leaders can strategically position their organisations to thrive in this era of rapid change.
