AI’s Impact on the Future of Work
Since ChatGPT’s introduction in November 2022, generative AI has swiftly transitioned from emerging technology to mainstream tool, reshaping our discussions about the future. In less than 18 months, its influence has permeated various sectors, prompting businesses to explore AI adoption strategies, governments to develop policies nurturing AI talent and governance, and educators to rethink skill development methodologies for the new digital landscape.
This session will delve into generative AI’s transformative effect on the workplace, exploring both the immense opportunities it presents and the challenges it poses. Discussions will encompass the evolving role of universities in equipping students with necessary skills for AI-enhanced career landscapes, the ethical dilemmas arising from AI advancements, and the potential for job displacement, which could disproportionately affect students from less advantaged backgrounds.
