Artificial Intelligence And Its Impact On Everyone’s Career
The impact of automation and AI on jobs, tasks and careers is a key concern, not just for HR practitioners, business owners, or job seekers; it’s a concern for everyone.
The impact of automation and AI on jobs, tasks and careers is a key concern, not just for HR practitioners, business owners, or job seekers; it’s a concern for everyone. Even more so since the outbreak of the pandemic and the necessity to further digitize many jobs, adapting them to the work-from-home requirements and lock-downs enforced in many parts of the world. Questions everyone has to ask themselves circle around the hard skills needed to thrive in the “virtual world” together with the soft skills required to retain or even expand the “human touch” and how to acquire them.

Meeting Format (virtual meeting via Zoom):
The host will welcome you in the group video chat (main room) and start with introduction about the community and the topic. Our Speaker Kevin Pereira will give his presentation on Artificial Intelligence and its impact on everyone’s career.
Thereafter and depending on how many people will attend, we split into virtual break-out rooms of 4-5 people for more detailed discussions. Within each subgroup we will introduce ourselves (name, profession, hobby and fun-fact) and begin a free-flowing discussion on the theme. That's why it is important to prepare and read suggested materials prior the meeting. Questions, new paths for discussion, personal experience, and opinions are highly encouraged. We conclude the event with everyone returning the main room sharing their takeaways on the subject.
