Prof. Jeffrey Sachs and Jerry Todd Look at Education Reform & the Future of Work #FII8

Video Description

Conversation on "WILL AI DEFINE THE FUTURE OF WORK?" took place at the King Abdulaziz International Conference Center in Riyadh on October 30, 2024, during the 8th Edition of Future Investment Initiative. #FII8 As AI integrates into industries, the conversation about its impact on the workforce is shifting from job displacement to job transformation and the demand for AI-related skills. AI could deliver an additional $13 trillion in global economic activity by 2030, a 16% higher GDP, according to a McKinsey Global Institute simulation. Will this necessitate a rethinking of education and training to prepare for an AI-augmented future, or will rapid advancements outpace adaptation?​ SPEAKERS: Prof. Jeffrey Sachs, Director of Center for Sustainable Development, Columbia University Jerry Todd, Head of National Development Division , PIF
