The Future of Jobs and Jobs Training<\/strong><\/a> — from by Lee Rainie and Janna Anderson
\nAs robots, automation and artificial intelligence perform more tasks and there is massive disruption of jobs, experts say a wider array of education and skills-building programs will be created to meet new demands. There are two uncertainties: Will well-prepared workers be able to keep up in the race with AI tools? And will market capitalism survive?<\/em><\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

Machines are eating humans\u2019 jobs talents. And it\u2019s not just about jobs that are repetitive and low-skill. Automation, robotics, algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI) in recent times have shown they can do equal or sometimes even better work than humans who are dermatologists<\/a>, insurance claims adjusters<\/a>, lawyers<\/a>, seismic testers in oil fields<\/a>, sports journalists<\/a> and financial reporters<\/a>, crew members on guided-missile destroyers<\/a>, hiring managers<\/a>, psychological testers<\/a>, retail salespeople<\/a>, and border patrol agents<\/a>. Moreover, there is growing anxiety that technology developments on the near horizon will crush the jobs of the millions<\/a> who drive cars and trucks, analyze medical tests and data<\/a>, perform middle management chores<\/a>, dispense medicine<\/a>, trade stocks and evaluate markets<\/a>, fight on battlefields<\/a>, perform government functions<\/a>, and even replace those who program software \u2013 that is, the creators of algorithms<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Several policy and market-based solutions have been promoted to address the loss of employment and wages forecast by technologists and economists. A key idea emerging from many conversations, including one of the lynchpin discussions at the World Economic Forum in 2016, is that changes in educational and learning environments are necessary<\/a> to help people stay employable<\/a> in the labor force of the future. Among the six overall findings in a new 184-page report<\/a> from the National Academies of Sciences, the experts recommended: \u201cThe education system will need to adapt to prepare individuals for the changing labor market. At the same time, recent IT advances offer new and potentially more widely accessible ways to access education.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the next 10 years, do you think we will see the emergence of new educational and training programs that can successfully train large numbers of workers in the skills they will need to perform the jobs of the future?<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\nThe following questions (from the article) might be fodder for initial conversations regarding what changes need to immediately occur within higher education. Those changes might be to establish teams\/task forces\/etc. charged with answering these kinds of questions.<\/span><\/p>\n
