Opening address - A world in flux: AI and the forces transforming work, and what we can - and should - do about it
Wednesday 17 April 2024
Conference Theatre 1
Every day we hear of advances in AI, with new systems taking on activities that, until recently, we thought only human beings alone could ever do: writing effective code and drafting compelling documents, designing beautiful buildings, and diagnosing medical illnesses.
What does all this technological progress mean for the future of work—and for Learning and Development (L&D) in particular? In this optimistic and pragmatic talk, Daniel Susskind explores the opportunities and challenges from AI for the L&D function, drawing on his best-selling books, The Future of the Professions and A World Without Work.
