7th Global Webinar on Applied Science, Engineering and Technology
Abstract
One of the most important inputs in technological forecasting is the human-machine partnership. Designing technical training and development requires a clear view of how we actually interact with technology versus a conceptualized view of the interaction, focusing solely on efficiency or effectiveness. The pace of change inherent in the unlearning/learning that will accompany today’s emerging technologies is rapidly accelerating through Artificial Intelligence (Al). Because Al is redefining how we work and live, the need to future-proof our organizations is more pressing than ever. Critical to that mission is the need to future-proof our talent.
Though fears of robots taking our jobs have long since been foretold via science fiction, the reality of how the Al revolution will affect the workforce will likely be quite different. Those who will be successful will be those who will have figured out how to harness and leverage the power of emerging technologies: specifically, Al. Organizations will be required to look deeper at their talent development efforts to facilitate the unique skills required for jobs that don’t yet exist. The power will truly lie within the people.
In this session, Dr. Zuppo will highlight the trends of the rapidly developing field of Al from a people perspective and explore the skillsets that will be required to maximize the many Al tools being released each day. Dr. Zuppo will also take a look at how today’s jobs will change as a result of the technology tools that continue to shape how we work and live.
