Ethan Mollick on Staying Human at Work | Dreamforce 2026

“All of a sudden we have AI agents that are capable of doing really sophisticated tasks over longer and longer periods of time.”
At Dreamforce 2026, Ethan Mollick joined Salesforce's Paula Goldman to discuss how increasingly capable AI agents are shifting work toward greater human judgment about what to delegate. The segment is largely introductory framing around Mollick's forthcoming book 'Coexistence' and Goldman's 'Manage the Machine,' with little concrete announcement or data.
