Workforce Resilience in a Changing Technological Landscape
Past Event
About the conference
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. This gathering will explore how automation and other emerging technologies are impacting modern career paths and how policy can promote sustainable skill formation. We are convening experts for a two-part, one-day conference. Our goal is to push forward this conversation on how a skilled workforce can keep pace with the rapid technological advancement across industry.
