THE FUTURE: ARE YOU EXCITED, OR ARE YOU WORRIED?

The next 20 years will bring more change than the previous 300 years. Technology is rebooting the very idea of work, how we work, when we work, where we work, and WHY we work.  Computers are no longer stupid; they’re watching, they’re listening, they’re speaking, they’re learning… Science fiction is becoming science fact, and the End of Routine work is only one of the outcomes. How much of YOUR work is routine?  Anything that can be automated, digitized or virtualized…will be. This is as certain as music is in the cloud, cars are driving themselves, and money is going digital. Automation is reducing the need for rode and manual labor everywhere, and smart machines will soon do the knowledge work as well. When artificial intelligence meets human intelligence, it’s the end of routine as we know it. But take heart: This is not the end of our jobs, it’s not the end of our work, it’s not the end of our purpose. Rather, a new age of human-only work is beginning!

 

 

The film's key messages

The next 20 years will bring more change than the previous 300 years:  Science fiction is becoming science fact

Anything that can be automated, digitized or virtualized will be

When artificial intelligence meets human intelligence, it’s the end of routine work as we know it

Whatever is easy for a computer is hard for humans, and vice versa – and this will remain true for the foreseeable future

There is life beyond automation: a new age of human-only work is beginning

Imagine a future where work is no longer the same as purpose, where we can find purpose in what we can and what we are meant to do

Your ultimate job is… to be human: The more we digitize our world, the more human we can and we must become

The future works differently – but that might be the best thing that ever happened to us!
