Kalaw explained that working remotely can make employees lose context within an organization and hinder innovation.
He advised remote workers to demonstrate up in the office to network, master AI tools, and learn new things. His speech, recorded on a Sunday afternoon, demonstrates his full support for the startup community in the Philippines.
Kalaw also shared stories about the future of the professional workspace and the influence of AI, providing examples of the changes in the taxi industry and how AI can improve dentistry. The statement, which went viral, has led to confusion and offense from remote workers.
Paolo Kalaw, CEO and founder of Nimbyx, clarified his statement that “working from home makes you dumber every day” during his keynote speech at FutureProof Tech Summit 2024.
