We think laughter is a response to something funny.
A joke. A punchline. A light moment.

But listen closely to real conversations, and laughter shows up in places that are far more important than we realize - and often when nothing is funny at all.

Sophie Scott is a professor at University College London and one of the world’s leading researchers on the science of laughter.

Elon Musk and Geoffrey Hinton warn of an AI-driven job apocalypse.

MIT’s David Autor, one of the world’s leading thinkers on how technology reshapes work, says the real danger lies somewhere else.
