Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Work in an AI-driven Environment

Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Work in an AI-driven Environment

To say that artificial intelligence will take away jobs of the future is an understatement, and redundant to boot. The broader term, technology, has been doing this for centuries already, and it is merely evolving into a more streamlined avatar called AI. Why is Artificial Intelligence Considered to be a Threat to the Future of Work?

In its most basic form of process automation, artificial intelligence has already wiped out a number of different jobs. And it’s an ongoing cycle: Assembly lines made skilled workers obsolete, and they in turn were made obsolete by machines that did the job […]

Voices Why automation is a positive turning point for accountants

It’s a downer these days to be an accountant. Business literature overflows with ominous articles proclaiming the anticipated demise of many accounting jobs, with robotics and other automated software solutions playing the role of villain. In an era of lightning-fast machines processing traditional accounting tasks, companies are told they need fewer accountants on the payroll.

That’s good news for businesses eager to trim labor expenses, but not much of a ringing endorsement for the future of the profession. Like everything in this era of hyperbole and superficial “hot takes” on Twitter, the implications are more nuanced than robots trampling accountants.

Here’s […]

Letter: Liberals have no answer for the coming transition

Letter: Liberals have no answer for the coming transition

To the editor:

All along, there has been an out-of-favor answer to this cute rhetorical idiom: “Don’t call them liberals, call them progressives. Because who can be against progress?” I first heard this as an example of “framing,” attributed to George Lakoff.

The answer is obvious: the people left behind when those who could moved on with the change that was endorsed in the name of progress! In some cases, the transition and catching up was relatively painless and even profitable at many levels. Consider the farm workers (they used to be 38 percent of the labor force in 1900) who […]

Software Vs Liveware: Reincarnation of eloquent workforce is imperative in reign of automation

Can you draw an imagination of commotion state between Human-Mind and Mechanical-Mind? Probably not. What if Mechanical-Minds become stealer of human employment? What if technological advancements takeover labour force in times ahead?

Well, working as tech-professional, it’s quite natural to think about above questions. Living on earth of continuous technological upgradation and witnessing the prevailing changes in the workspace, the boon of machines sometimes acts as a worst nightmare.

Workforce Automation: Scary Threat or Major Opportunity?

Workforce Automation: Scary Threat or Major Opportunity?

Engineers use a wireless remote control of robotic welding and robot workpiece for smart factory — an Industry 4.0 concept. You might have read about the “Second Machine Age,” in which automated technologies perform more and more work that humans have been doing — and machines become competitors rather than helpers. Some people talk about the “Fourth Industrial Revolution” and the disruptions that it will bring. Inevitably, such discussion stokes fears that a lot of people will see their livelihoods dry up as machines take over their work.

“Those seem to be the headlines,” acknowledges Bob Doyle, vice president of […]

How do universities prepare graduates for jobs that don’t yet exist?

How do universities prepare graduates for jobs that don't yet exist?

Universities determine the future: they shape it through their research and prepare students for tomorrow’s jobs. But in the midst of the fourth industrial revolution , it’s hard to know what the future will look like. Technological changes such as automation and artificial intelligence are expected to transform the employment landscape. The question is: will our education system keep up?

The answer matters because an estimated 65% of children entering primary schools today will work in jobs and functions that don’t currently exist, according to a recent Universities UK report . The research, which explores the “rapid pace of change […]
