Event Details
The technological revolution and artificial intelligence has had a dramatic and unexpected effect on jobs. It has and continues to polarise the labour market. While low-skill jobs have stagnated, there are fewer and lower paid jobs for middle-skill workers, and higher pay for high-skill workers, increasing wage inequality. Artificial intelligence is automating jobs and fear continues to grow over how quickly and to what degree machines will either replace people in the workplace or forever shift the skillsets required of working professionals.
- How will automation affect industry and resource allocation in the future? What skills are required in the future workplace?
- What business strategies and operations are behind data automation? Will these technologies create a wider gap in wage and gender inequality?
- How will the future workforce drive a change of culture and inclusion amidst this technology boom?
