Taskrabbit CEO Ania Smith isn’t afraid of AI robots replacing human labor

Taskrabbit CEO Ania Smith isn’t afraid of AI robots replacing human labor

Today, I’m talking with Taskrabbit CEO Ania Smith. Taskrabbit is an interesting company; it’s known best for being a platform for hiring people to put together your furniture, so much so that Ikea acquired it in 2017. But Taskrabbit is still operating as a mostly independent company all these years later, and Ania is now in charge of maneuvering a fast-changing labor market during uncertain economic times and a potentially major AI disruption to the workforce on the horizon.
