What if AI transformed your job so you had four-day weekends or never even had to work again?
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence is poised to dramatically transform the landscape of work. As routine tasks are automated by AI, new efficiencies are created, freeing up time for workers — but what should they do with that time? Use it for higher-level thinking and decision-making? Reduce their work hours and have a four-day weekend? Add new skills and responsibilities to their job? Will jobs be lost, replaced or displaced?
Our experts discuss the impact on wages, and the industries and jobs that are at risk or poised to thrive in an AI-powered workplace. They also address the need for workers to adapt and upskill or reskill themselves, the risks and ethical issues associated with AI in the workplace, and the role of regulation and policy.
Joining us are three experts on AI in business and work. R. Ravi is the Andres Zoltners Professor of Business, and Professor of Operations Research and Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. Laurence Ales is a Professor of Economics at the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon University. And Calum Chace is a global speaker, advisor, and the bestselling author of “Surviving AI” and “The Economic Singularity.”
