Abstract:
The world of work has undergone many challenges in recent times. The newest disruptor, Artificial intelligence (AI), in the backdrop of Remote and Hybrid work, is yet again transforming work in ways that are unprecedented. AI can augment human capabilities, automate tasks, create new jobs, and disrupt existing ones and enable organizations to revamp their working styles to achieve desired outcomes. How can workers and employers adapt to these changes and leverage the potential of AI for social and economic benefits? Who is best positioned to benefit from AI and how? This talk will provide an overview of the current state and future trends of AI and its impact on the labor market, skills, education, and ethics. It will also discuss challenges in determining success metrics for AI in its impact on the future of work.
