September 1, 6:15 pm
In our jobs, the economy, and everyday life, AI is rewriting the rules, leaving everyone unsure about how best to prepare for what lies ahead. Senior Research Associate at the Institute for Ethics in AI at Oxford University, Daniel Susskind, will cut through the outdated advice to show us what we actually need to succeed today.
Daniel will argue that we should not ban tools or discourage new skills that are in demand, or cling to inherited ways of working. Instead, he will reveal how people can master new technologies without eroding other essential skills. From rethinking the curriculum to re-imagining white-collar careers, Daniel will map out a smarter, more productive path forward, embracing the extraordinary opportunities that AI brings rather than retreating from them.
Join us for an evidence-based and practical guide to one of the most urgent questions of our time.
