The Future of Work: Will Robots and Automation Destroy or Save Us?

Lynelle Cameron Will we automate ourselves out of our jobs and
into widespread unemployment?  Or will we leverage the power
of automation and digital technology to design us into a better
future for billions of people?  This talk will explore
the role of robots, automation, AI and machine
learning in not only transforming how we work
but also, and perhaps more
importantly, what we humans are now able to work
on and do in our jobs.   With technology as our
partner and co-creator, we are now poised to
tackle systemic global challenges and create a brighter
future for billions of people. And we need more
people designing and making than ever before, not fewer. But
we humans can’t do it alone.  We need machines as
creative partners so that we can leverage the best of
both to express our values, imagination and our
humanity to design us into the future.
