Can education systems anticipate the challenges of artificial intelligence?
| There is increasing concern that artificial intelligence could automate many jobs and displace scores of workers in the next decade or two. The usual response to this possibility is to argue that automation has never caused long-term unemployment in the past and that displaced workers just need more education to move into higher-skill jobs. But is this the right response and will it be enough?
In our upcoming Strategic Debate, Stuart Elliott, the Henry David Visiting Scholar at the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, will provide some tentative answers, while putting forth a proposal for even better answers that will take us into the future. We will also welcome Steven Vosloo from UNESCO as the discussant and Suzanne Grant Lewis from IIEP-UNESCO as the moderator. Speakers: · Stuart Elliott, Henry David Visiting Scholar, U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine · Steven Vosloo, Senior Project Officer, Section of Youth, Literacy and Skills Development, UNESCO (discussant) · Suzanne Grant Lewis, Director, IIEP-UNESCO (moderator) When: Tuesday, May 15, 2018 REGISTER |
