What becomes valuable when knowing the answer is easier? At the CNBC CEO Summit, Matt Britton joins Morgan Brennan to examine how AI changes the relationship between knowledge, skills and work.

His argument comes into focus in this line: “Memorization and regurgitation won’t build the future. Problem-solving and creativity will.”

The conversation considers the limits of degrees and technical credentials as guarantees of success, Generation Alpha’s familiarity with AI, and the implications of Microsoft cutting tens of thousands of jobs. Matt also discusses why identifying a worthwhile problem matters and how AI affects design, distribution and decision-making.

Drawing on Generation AI and his work at Suzy, he asks leaders to look beyond the information a person holds to the judgment and creativity they bring to using it.
