Opening keynote: Working in an AI-future: who’s at the wheel? – Online (English)
Working in an Artificial Intelligence future: who’s at the wheel?
Automation seems to be sweeping through society relentlessly, creating new types of jobs. Will Artificial Intelligence create a next wave of job replacements, and unlike earlier waves create massive unemployment? Or will this unfounded fear once again not become reality, and will we find new jobs that have not yet been invented? What type of leadership will be required for such a new reality?
After a word of welcome by Robert-Jan Smits, Carlo van de Weijer will keynote on the trends and guidelines on how the future of work might look. How can you make sure you are still at the wheel of your own career, and if so, in which direction should you be steering?
We will wrap up this opening session with a short physical activity to get you activated. Nkosi Matondo will show you how to find stability in body and mind. This will help you to eventually become more powerful in the way you approach your life and career.
The opening session will be hosted by Marle de Jonge.
