surprising: the kind of jobs that AI could do away with away with.

concerning: the idea that there are those who are not open-minded enough to see the potential and vast possibility of new job type creation and new ways of learning.

exciting: the prospect of being involved in new ways of doing things. Living in an age where we are on the cusp of amazing potential – this is the pioneering era of the application of tech and where it will take humanity in the future..

One thing I found surprising was Artificial intelligence can enable new ways of learning, teaching, education, and can change the society in a way that poses new challenges for educational institutions. And I found this concerning since it may worsen skill disparities and polarize jobs, or it may help equalise educational opportunities. Therefore, the foresight about this session enables the teacher to be aware of AI trends. Although AI powered solutions have been around for some time, the industry has been slow to adopt them. However, the pandemic drastically altered the landscape, forcing educators to take advantage of technology for… Read more »

I found the AI section most concerning. It will be interesting to see how they incorporate ethical decision making when incorporate AI. Delivery by drone of items would cause customs concerns. However I immediately though of the control of drug trafficking and other criminal activities. This will create some real counter thinking to monitor this space I would imagine. I’m really surprised at how far technology and AI has already advanced. I feel I may have been snoozing somewhat. I know we always premised education on the ability to think and develop skills rather than focus on facts which change.… Read more »

Even COVID (with Qkr codes etc.) has shown how we can all be monitored and you would think that life is getting increasingly difficult for criminals as their every move, google input etc. is being observed.
Amazon and deliveries through drones making it difficult for Border control….it all brings so many aspects of everything to each AI innovation.

I believe that the healthcare sector providing 3d printing for organs will become a huge trend as well as the virtual world entertainment producer. Healthcare as it reduces the prospect of rejection of organs, while the online world provides a different experience and may provide a greater avenue for the Developers to explore. Surprising to think about the possibilities of different careers our children will eventually have. Concerning to see the disparity between the rich and poor will continue, as it has historically. The poor may continue to do the jobs that cannot be replaced, that are also low pay.… Read more »

If working class people will not have access to these emerging technology trends such as 3D printing machines, the divide will widen. Already their access to experience this technology in education is limited as public education institutes are starved of funding compared to private education facilities.
Let’s hope we don’t lose the fact that every child deserves access to a fully resourced education.

Just thinking of ‘older’ generations keeping up with things will mean that one is being left behind.
Our parents struggled with phones…now if you don’t do online banking in Europe, you get charged a fee for coming up to the counter in a bank. One has to move along, as without a phone one would have struggled to enter shops during Covid.
It will be harder and harder for people to stay afloat with all the changes while we are getting older.

Stop the fires? Fires are a natural process (when not lit by fire-bugs or when back-burning gets out of control) that re-generates the land. The problem is people clearing patches of land then building houses smack-bang in the middle of the bush. Climate change may be exacerbating the number, intensity and duration of the natural processes/occurrences on our planet – but technology to stop fires?! I believe, and can see, how technology is being put to use to assist fire-fighting efforts, however, I personally think each country should look to their indigenous people to better understand fires of their respective… Read more »

The thing I found:
Surprising is the number of varied/current high in demand professions that would be impacted

Concerning: Will our teenage kids who are in their final years of school get an opportunity to adapt to the demands of the new trends? How many of them will be able to cope with the fast approaching changes?
Exciting: I may not call it exciting but a relief to know that there will be different professions/ jobs still available to humans( my kids)

I found it surprising to hear that an area such as the Legal Fraternity could be so impacted by AI. Society has always viewed this area as an elite profession that not only took many years at a University to train for but was handsomely rewarded with a very comfortable salary for those efforts. I am concerned that a job for the future in the Health area could be a Remote Healthcare specialist. This is already being experimented with at the present time due to COVID restrictions. I have had personal experience of this and it does not address all… Read more »

I agree Wendy – the thought of someone diagnosing me over a telephone consultation has always been a little strange!

I found the speed at which change is expected to take place scary, as the world will be a different place in 15 years

My niece just completed her law degree … it is a real concern that the money and time spent on achieving such knowledge will be no longer required.

The thing I found most surprising were the types of employment that were considered moderate and low-risk. However through discussion and reflection I agree that especially with these low-risk professions as it takes not only manual skills to complete the tasks but EQ and proper judgement to be flexible when working with clients in these situations. I found it very concerning that many of the roles that our young students gain many of there first employment skills through are conisdered moderate to high-risk and may not be around in 10-15 years. These types of employment (Retail, telemarketer) help our yound… Read more »

I was surprised that occupations like hairdressing, landscaper would survive owing to their variability.
I was concerned that routine occupations like telemarketing are likely to be under duress…particularly as it employs a lot of young people who are unsure of where they want to go in their work life.
I was excited that my belief that we need to be teaching generalised skills and resilience not specific structures has validity in this new future.

Agreed dianne that it is good that there will still be teaching jobs for real teachers. I am also glad that a real person will cut my hair

One would hope that while certain occupations may disappear that other new occupations may arise to take their place. There have been plenty of instances in the past where large areas of employment have been lost to changes in process or automation.
Like you am relieved that we still need to teach generalised skills in th futhure.

The thing I found most suprising was the types of employment that are considered moderate to low risk of vulnerabliity in the future such as builders, aged care and hairdressing. But on reflection it makes sense that although AI is highly intelligent the ability to be flexible and make judgements about a situation on the run is distinctly human. I am concerned that common sense can be overtaken by the designers and developers of software trends, and AI and robotics are not immune to this. Perhaps it is that these tend to be developed by younger people who are very… Read more »

I agree with your idea about the types of employment considered to be at low risk. We need to be able to encourage our youth to train and seek employment in jobs that will be sustained in the future.
Al is concerning in some areas as it may take away employment, infringe on privacy and certainly lose a human touch to an industry but the positives of what it can bring for people who are poor and suffering -as in 3D printing for prosthetics is very encouraging.
