This was held this morning at ISS, which is located at a quaint little part of Singapore and parked at the other corner from NUS. I arrived here early and so parking was not an issue at all.
This entire festival is focused on AI and there are multiple sessions starting from 930 till 5pm. There must be at least 30 sessions and they all look interesting but many of them run simultaneously and I have to pick and choose. Sigh.
For the 930am session I settled on The AI Reorg.. How AI is Restructuring Companies Faster than Leaders can Adapt by Damian Cummings.
It was an informative session but it was not something that I didn’t know. If you follow the news regularly and read the Economist from cover to cover, then what the speaker said you would already know. The current impact of AI, potential and present job losses, the shifts happening in organisations, the jobs most at risk and how to take some preventive steps and future proof oneself.
But it is a message that everyone needs to hear and to take seriously.
