Workforce Resilience in a Changing Technological Landscape

Friday, October 25, 2024 | 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM

The advent of generative AI has raised a new wave of concern about what the rapid pace of automation will mean for workers who have already made substantial investments in skills. While workers can develop skills throughout their careers, what strategies will enable them to find sustainable labor market success? How can workers start their careers to maximize long run success?

The Block Center for Technology and Society in partnership with Carnegie Mellon University’s Heinz College of Information Systems and Public Policy will host a gathering to explore how automation and other emerging technologies are impacting modern career paths and how policy can promote sustainable skill formation. We will convene experts at the cutting edge of this research for a two-part, one-day conference. The first session will feature an academic mini-conference consisting of paper presentations by key experts. The second session will be open to the wider campus community, local policymakers, and the broader public, to convey the state of knowledge on the topic area to foster interactions between stakeholders and academic researchers.

Our goal is to push forward this conversation on how a skilled workforce can keep pace with the rapid technological advancement across industries. Our experts will be announced soon!
