Will AI make the office obsolete—or more important than ever?

In this episode, Jean-Yves Huwart, Founder of Coworking Europe, speaks with Pietro Martani, serial entrepreneur, founder of Stella33, and former co-founder of Copernico, about how Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the future of work and workplaces.

Drawing on insights from *Limitless Workspace – LW*, the editorial insert developed together with MIT Sloan Management Review Italia, Pietro explains why the next decade will transform not just offices, but the way organizations collaborate, innovate, and create value.

Topics covered in this episode include:

• The rise of Workspace as a Service • Activity-based working and the changing office layout • Why collaboration spaces matter more than ever • The impact of AI on organizations and workplace design • Why culture and trust will become key competitive advantages • How flex operators are uniquely positioned to lead this transformation • Why, in Pietro's words, "machines will make us more human"

Whether you're a workplace strategist, flex office operator, real estate professional, or simply interested in the future of work, this conversation offers valuable insights into the next phase of workplace evolution.
