The case for a next generation learning platform<\/strong><\/a> — from campustechnology.com by Mary Grush & Daniel Christian<\/p>\n

Excerpt (emphasis DSC):<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Grush<\/strong>: <\/strong>Then what are some of the implications you could draw from metrics like that one?<\/p>\n

Christian<\/strong>: As we consider all the investment in those emerging technologies, the question many are beginning to ask is, “How will these technologies impact jobs and the makeup of our workforce in the future?”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

While there are many thoughts and questions regarding the cumulative impact these technologies will have on our future workforce (e.g., “How many jobs will be displaced?”), the consensus seems to be that there will be massive<\/em> change.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Whether our jobs are completely displaced or if we will be working alongside robots, chatbots, workbots, or some other forms of AI-backed personal assistants, all of us will need to become lifelong learners \u2014 to be constantly reinventing ourselves.<\/strong> <\/span>This assertion is also made in the aforementioned study from McKinsey:\u00a0“<\/em>AI promises benefits, but also poses urgent challenges that cut across firms, developers, government, and workers. The workforce needs to be re-skilled<\/span> <\/strong>to exploit AI rather than compete with it\u2026”<\/p>\n
