About the Award: How can Artificial Intelligence support us to better prepare for future transformational development?
There are ongoing debates on how exponential technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) are already shaping all spheres of life, including workspaces and competencies needed to be strengthened in future technological societies. These will change the very nature of work as we see more automated technologies assisting, augmenting and in some cases replacing workforces. The skills needed for the future workplace are going to change.
In the time of global disruption, such as the recent pandemic outbreak of COVID-19, social change is inevitable and is unleashing opportunities for transformation. We are bound to social distancing, to work remotely, to decide fast according to growing local and global data sets. Future scenario discussions already call for sustainable behavioural change considering this acute crisis but also bearing in mind the complex challenges such as climate change and speeding species extinction, potential resource conflicts, economic systems instabilities, and fast assimilation of digital tools in all spheres of life. Times of disruption also open opportunities for faster comprehensive behavioural change and adaptation that may lead to more sustainable systemic development on a medium and long-term perspective.
