Seminar Description:
We have begun the greatest and most rapid transformation of civilization in the history of humankind. In a few short years, artificial intelligence has already disrupted and revolutionized many industries and human endeavors. The generative and large language models in use today are far outperforming humans in numerous complex occupational tasks, and the proliferation of ever more capable models is inevitable at an exponential growth rate. This transformation is fundamentally changing what it means to work, to live, and even to value our lives in a world in which productivity will eventually flow primarily from non-human sources.
Three take aways:
Why occupational obsolescence will be the defining characteristic of the job market, and what you can do to remain productive and employable.
How to frame flexible thinking to continually evolve with an increasingly AI-automated future.
How to dynamically optimize collaborative tasks between humans and AI.
