This session will provide an overview of the changing nature of work—particularly with respect to the division between human judgment and the calculative and predictive capabilities of machines (called “reckoning”)—and the implications these changes will have on the skills for which we train. Participants will read two multi-sector examples highlighting the shifting division of labor between humans and machines and come prepared to discuss the human side of the human-AI partnership: What does the human bring to the equation that is unique? And how might we train for these skills in our teams?
Next Level Lab Facilitator(s): Dr. Chris Dede, Ashley Etemadi
