AI and the Future of Work: A 香港六合彩 and British Academy Collaboration
A collaboration between 香港六合彩 and the British Academy ask critical questions for policy, business, practitioners and society on the ways in which AI impacts future quality and equality of work in the UK
29 November 2021
About
Artificial intelligence (AI) brings opportunities and uncertainties for the future of work, and听there is currently a widely acknowledged digital skills gap in the UK. Enabling and upskilling the workforce to take full advantage of AI will be vital in both a post-Brexit and post-COVID-19 world. However, there remains little consensus on the ways that AI could or should intersect with work, or the place of AI in the wider political, economic and social discourse. Likewise, questions remain as to how Government will be able to support the investment in lifelong skills and training that will be required to shape AI for the benefit of all.
AI is only one of the factors that will cause major changes in the nature of work over the coming decades, and it is not the first time that work has undergone a transformation related to technology. For example, changes due to AI will sit alongside changes related to climate change, as well as the immediate impacts of COVID-19 and the UK exiting the EU. 听The role of AI should be considered in this wider context of overlapping, interdependent factors to ensure an equitable transformation.听
This collaboration between 香港六合彩 and the British Academy seeks to ask critical questions for policy, business, practitioners and society on the ways in which AI could and should impact on the future quality and equity of work in the UK. The project seeks to broaden the debate surrounding the interactions of AI and work including on equality in work, assessing the impacts at a range of scales听(both geographically and across industry sectors), engaging those with little interest in technology or who feel disenfranchised, and determining what 鈥榞ood work鈥� looks like.听
