Amid pandemic lockdowns, digital nomads exhibit remarkable resilience and adaptability, showcasing the evolving dynamics of remote work. As Artificial Intelligence (AI) intersects with digital nomadism, it offers profound insights into the future of work, transcending geographical borders and reshaping traditional workplace norms. Leveraging the Gioia methodology, this work discusses how digital nomads integrate AI into their work and lifestyles, navigate concerns about the job market, and seize AI-related employment opportunities. The findings underscore digital nomads’ frequent use of pivoting as a resilience strategy in response to AI disruptions in niche businesses or professional careers, alongside widespread adoption of AI tools for personal use, meeting practical and strategic needs. This research contributes to the existing literature by effectively aligning emerging concepts with the theoretical framework of digital nomadism, offering valuable insights into the interests and behaviors of stakeholders within the ecosystem supporting digital nomad activities.
