“When it comes to AI, ‘you can’t make an omelet without breaking some eggs’ and the same is true when it comes to the development, application, and use of AI,” says Marc Low, the Ignition Vancouver Lead at KPMG. Low goes on to say, “AI is either exhilarating and inspiring or it’s fuel for nightmares; so much depends on your point of view.”

Low is a techno optimist, saying, “I have my eyes wide open to the opportunities and the risks, and when I look at the future of AI in our lives and jobs, I believe it is a force for good.” This despite Matt Shumer’s “Something Big Is Happening” blog of Feb 9, 2026, where he states that AI is replacing him, an AI founder, coder, and designer. Shumer says, “I am no longer needed for the actual technical work of my job.”

This begs the question: “Is AI a disruptive job killer or is an expansive force within every sector of the workplace?” asks Marc Low. A Citrini Research Macro Memo hypothesis details the progression and fallout of the global intelligence crisis. Titled, “The Consequences of Abundant Intelligence,” the memo looks at unemployment numbers in June 2028 at 10.2% and rising to 38% in October.

We invited Marc Low, Ignition Vancouver Lead at KPMG, to join us for a Conversation That Matters about the current and future opportunities and impacts of artificial intelligence.
