Filmed at FutureWeek Forum, this timely lecture from Fabian Stephany, Assistant Professor in AI & Work at Oxford University highlights some surprising insights on how AI is changing workplace skills and the types of jobs available in the global job market.
In this first part of a two-part presentation recording, Stephany likens the rise of AI to the creation of the locomotive, touching on the fact that it’s the absence of human skill over the tech itself that often leads to catastrophe. He shares why AI skills and the demand of people who know how to use this tech has, in some cases, tripled in recent times, and why a person with AI skills often outranks someone with a traditional university master’s degree.
