The 4th Annual AI & the Work of the Future Congress concludes w/the leaders of the #MIT Task Force on the Work of the Future: Liz Reynolds, David Autor & David Mindell @LReynoldsMITIPC @davidautor@davidmindell#MITWorkoftheFuture
AI and the Work of the Future Congress concludes w/@workofthefuture's @LReynoldsMITIPC, @davidautor, & @davidmindell. Creating the work of the future is the challenge of the present. We can’t direct the outcome of innovation but we can shape it intentionally. #MITWorkoftheFuture
Today's AI & the Work of the Future Congress marks the launch of the #MIT Task Force on the Work of the Future Report. Read @nytimes article about this report: ow.ly/s56250CoiQ9#MITWorkoftheFuture
How do we find our way out of developing so-so technologies (ones that don't bring formative productivity improvements)? We need 2 have a more balanced portfolio of technologies, more ways of restructuring the economy 2 put humans first- @MIT@DrDaronAcemoglu#MITWorkoftheFuture
If society doesn’t succeed, companies do not succeed. Companies, governments, and communities have to come together to rethink about the type of society we want and what the future is for the worker: Retraining? Relocation? Those left behind? @IndraNooyi#MITWorkoftheFuture
Overheard today at the @mit@workofthefuture Congress: universal healthcare & universal childcare will be critical components for ensuring economic success. #MITWorkoftheFuture
My opinion: These social programs will accelerate the shift towards a liquid workforce. #FutureOfWork
What are skills of the future? Soft skills along w/hard skills. U need 2 understand your future potential for a role & not what you’ve done in the past; soft skills (personality, cognition, social emotional aptitude) allow you 2 do that- @pymetrics@fridapolli#MITWorkoftheFuture
“After bubonic plague came the Renaissance”
@MIT_CSAIL's Daniela Rus talking today about our current pandemic at the AI & the Work of the Future Congress. An uplifting thought. #MITWorkoftheFuture#AI
The main factor in the disturbance of income distribution is not technological change. We need a way of directing the innovation process not w/respect 2 the labor market but asking what does society need that will make people better off- @mit_ide's @rsolow1954#MITWorkoftheFuture
There needs to be a fundamental shift for non-digital jobs. We need to think of service jobs the way we thought about manufacturing jobs and put into place the same protection, benefits, & systemization of service that took place 100 years ago, @FareedZakaria#MITWorkoftheFuture
Looking forward to moderating our 12.15pm panel 'A Global Perspective on the Work of the Future' with @IndraNooyi, @BoschGlobal's Volkmar Denner, and @MITSloan's @YashengHuang. We'll address the impact of tech change on workers across diff countries. Join us! #MITworkofthefuture
At #mitfutureofwork @LReynoldsMITIPC points out the disconnect between productivity and pay. The U.S. also lags in wages and 'antiquated and inadequate' labor laws.
"We couldn’t predict the pandemic but we can predict the impact that the technology will have the on the global workforce and put structures in place," @MIT_CSAIL's Daniela Rus at the AI and the Work of the Future Congress. #MITWorkoftheFuture#AI
MIT's President Reif shares the importance of designing a future of work that can be better for everyone, emphasizing that technologists have a special role to play to equip tomorrow’s technologists and invent a future that works for our whole society. #MITWorkoftheFuture#AI
Looking forward to discussing how @ChiCityColleges is helping prepare students for a dynamic economy through employer partnerships and work-based learning experiences @workofthefuture. #mitworkofthefuture
