Daniel Susskind, Senior Research Associate at the Institute for Ethics in AI, Oxford University is to provide the opening address at the upcoming Learning Technologies 2024 Conference, taking place on 17-18 April 2024 in London.
Learning Technologies 2024, opening address - A world in flux: AI and the forces transforming work, and what we can - and should - do about it.
Every day we hear of advances in AI, with new systems taking on activities that, until recently, we thought only human beings alone could ever do: writing effective code and drafting compelling documents, designing beautiful buildings, and diagnosing medical illnesses.
Learning Technologies Conference Chair, Donald H Taylor, said: “What does all this technological progress mean for the future of work - and for Learning and Development (L&D) in particular? In this optimistic and pragmatic talk, Daniel Susskind explores the opportunities and challenges from AI for the L&D function, drawing on his best-selling books, 'The Future of the Professions' and 'A World Without Work'.”
Daniel Susskind’s opening address is at 9:30 am on day one of the conference, 17 April 2024.
