Two seemingly disparate themes absolutely dominate the discussion right now around the future of work: the rise of generative artificial intelligence, and the shift to a skills-based economy. Yet these topics—one about pushing the frontiers of digital innovation, the other often tied to advancing workers who may not have college degrees—are more connected than it may seem. Today, these two critical issues intersect in more and more ways, as AI tools help organizations unearth the hidden skills of their workforce, AI advancements require employers to upskill their workforce and AI creates the white space for people to learn and develop in new and expansive ways.
The 2024 Forbes Future of Work Summit will explore these two urgent themes and how they converge, as well as managing the distributed workforce, the evolving role of DEI in today’s charged landscape and what workers really want in a changed work world.
The in-person portion of this Summit is by invitation only. All applications/registrations are subject to review by Forbes.
