    TCS | Sink or swim? Antony Makins on how AI is rewriting the rules of work

    By TechCentral5 March 2026

    Artificial intelligence isn’t just changing how work gets done, it’s rewriting the rules of business. Organisations are scrambling to redefine processes and job descriptions, while employees are grappling with new tools and new ways of thinking that are transforming the way they approach their daily tasks.

    In this episode of the TechCentral Show, Antony Makins, chief operating officer and acting CEO at TForge and chair of the special group on AI and robotics at the Institute of IT Professionals South Africa, unpacks the skills revolution unfolding alongside the AI one.

    Makins delves into the patterns emerging across organisations and the broader labour market as AI adoption accelerates.

    He also explores the mindset shift it’s imposing on the workforce, and which roles are being hit hardest by AI-driven changes to how we work.

    He delves into the opportunities that exist despite the very real threat AI poses to jobs – and what government can do to create an enabling environment for workers to adapt to a labour market increasingly shaped by AI, machine learning and data analysis.

    Don’t miss the conversation!
