Future of Working: Technology and AI – Interview with Chief Futurist, Simon Eassom

In the lead up to ACoP's Future of Working Roundtable on August 11, their Head of Education and Employability, Lynette Harris is conducting thought-provoking interviews with leading experts exploring the future impact of digital technologies and AI. The first interview features Chief Futurist, Dr Simon Eassom who shares his insights on this topic.

Simon shares valuable insights on whether AI is now the final nail in the coffin for the professions and if the role of professionals is becoming more evolved as a result. He explores what the professional of the future might be and the significance of trust, expertise, experience, knowledge and skills for professionals in the future.

As Simon observes, “The net result might be that we see a different kind of person with different dispositions becoming the successful professionals of the future and not just those who demonstrated an aptitude for the core domain skills”.

As part of RIMPA’s membership with ACoP, we can bring you insights into what the professions are advocating for. To read more of Simon’s projections for the future and the impact of AI on job markets, re-skilling and up-skilling for the future, including the importance of fostering a human-centered approach in the face of automation, head to: The Future of Working – Simon Eassom.
