341 — How to compete in the robot wars
Apr 25, 2023
In case you’ve missed it, 2023 has become the year when automation and Artificial Intelligence (AI) started displacing cognitive and creative work. Chat-GPT, DALL-E and other tools are becoming ubiquitous, so this week we’re asking how L&D and HR should respond.
To answer this question, Owen and Ross D are joined on The Mind Tools L&D Podcast by Ashley Recanati, author of AI Battle Royale: How to Protect Your Job from Disruption in the 4th Industrial Revolution. We discuss:
- where the lessons of previous industrial revolutions apply to this one
- how ‘knowledge workers’ can adapt their job to work with AI tools
- the role of L&D in preparing people for the AI revolution.
Ashley’s book is available from Barnes and Noble: barnesandnoble.com/w/ai-battle-royale-ashley-marc-recanati/1142352394
