Artificial intelligence has changed the way much of the working day is spent, yet the physical office looks much as it did before those tools arrived. That mismatch is the question at the centre of a Sifted feature headlined "AI has changed how we work. So why does the office look exactly the same?"
The article opens with a founder building what is described as a very sophisticated AI transcription device that turns voice into text, using the encounter to illustrate how quickly such tools have become part of ordinary professional life. The conversation with that founder turns into the starting point for the piece's broader question about the gap between how work is now done and the spaces in which it happens.
The feature is published as part of Sifted's Startup Life newsletter, the weekly briefing on Europe's startup scene, which pairs reporting with practical insight for founders and operators.
