Leaders in every industry are racing to understand and respond to the impacts of artificial intelligence on jobs – and how companies and employees can prepare for a massive transformation that’s already begun. Groundbreaking research by Jobs for the Future (JFF), a national nonprofit working to help millions more Americans prepare for and connect to quality jobs, is yielding new insights – and actionable recommendations – on the ways in which AI may reshape the most in-demand jobs and skills.
Ben Williams and Tiffany Hsieh, of JFF’s new Center for Artificial Intelligence & the Future of Work, will lead a session grounded in JFF’s AI-Ready Workforce Framework. This session will help leaders think differently about how to respond to the impacts of AI in their own work and across their organization—and better prepare to tackle big questions about how to navigate this new landscape of work by leading with equity and humanity.
