Cheltenham Festivals: The Future of Work
Bayshill Road, Sandford, Montpellier, Cheltenham, GL50 3EP
Description
Are robots coming for your job? Financial journalist Sarah O'Connor and leading AI expert Richard Susskind talk to David Runciman to examine what working life could look like in the years ahead.
Drawing on stories from the front lines of technological change, they explore the realities of work in the new age of AI and automation. From stories of workers feeling increasingly lonelier, more automated and less human, to hopeful examples where new tools are improving safety, creativity and control, our experts consider how emerging and yet-to-be invented technologies could reshape professions, institutions and human capability as we look to the future. Chaired by David Runciman.
There will be a book signing after this event.
