Dr. Wendy Cukier joins us to discuss her take on the future of work in Canada. A leading expert on disruptive technologies and innovation, Dr. Cukier is Academic Director of the Diversity Institute at Toronto Metropolitan University. As AI technologies become more common in the workplace, Dr. Cukier argues that workers need both frameworks to support these technologies, and guardrails to ensure they’re used responsibly.
Highlights from our conversation include:
1. Even as Generative AI takes hold, Dr. Cukier sees an ongoing need for non-technical skills, such as the ability to argue, use language, and think critically. Such skills, she says, will be key to effective prompt engineering. 2. Despite rhetoric and backlash against it, diversity remains a competitive advantage for businesses and must continue to be leveraged. 3. Those businesses that are able to leverage inclusion, innovation, productivity, and sustainability will be well positioned for long-term success.
