Keynote Topics

A new world of work is on the horizon, a world in which humans may no longer be the smartest entity in the room. Described by Harvard Business Review as the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the future of work will look starkly different from how it looks today. By 2025, 52% of total task hours across existing jobs could be performed by machines. By 2030, up to 800 million jobs could be replaced by technology all together. Our century-old workforce model — learn, work, retire — will become a thing of the past.

But the outlook is not bleak. In this presentation, Sinead Bovell will show that there are skill sets that we can build, policies we can implement, infrastructures we can redesign, and new societal contracts we can implement to empower individuals, companies, and countries alike to reap the benefits of a smart world.

Artificial intelligence will disrupt every aspect of how we live and how we work. From sharing a workforce with smart machines to AI-powered homes and vehicles to biotechnology advances that could challenge the very nature of what it means to be human. The future will look starkly different than the present.

While the rise of artificial intelligence should make most people better off over the next decade, it won’t happen automatically. Sinead Bovell explains why we need to tackle bias in algorithmic decision making and address challenging philosophical questions, such as: Is a world without work possible? And why we need to ensure that the technologies of tomorrow get built on the right side of history.

No longer can conversations about the future of work and diversity and inclusion be separate. Not only are diverse and inclusive teams critical for the bottom line, but they are also critical for preventing historical power imbalances and human biases from getting coded into the future. In the coming decade, nearly every company will adopt intelligent technologies — whether it be through applying artificial intelligence to recruiting processes, automating employee tasks or entire roles, or using AI to drive customer insights. The future of work will be centered around smart machines.

Let’s use this transition into the future of work as an opportunity to accelerate equality in our workforce, and to create a tech-centric society that works effectively for everyone.
