Session Overview

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THE FUTURE OF WORK

 Digital technologies have changed how work is done. Workers have been profoundly impacted by the evolution of the Internet, the computer, and web browsers, which have changed everything about the tasks, skills and approaches to learning they need to in today's workplace. Through the application of artificial intelligence (AI), the pivot from in person classroom instruction towards the creation of on demand customizable learning content is transforming workplace learning and development practices. AI applications are not only shaping the future of work, they are reshaping the delivery of learning in the workplace.

Dr. Yorks will discuss trends in workplace learning and development, the role AI has and will play in this transformation, and how AI will impact the future of work.
