About 200,000 jobs on Wall Street will be displaced by artificial intelligence tools in the next three to five years, according to a study by Bloomberg. Several other businesses, from software start-ups to major consumer goods companies, are using AI tools and automation to sharply increase productivity of a wide range of professional as well as technical tasks - in the process laying off staff and slashing new hires.
In this environment, what skills will continue to be in demand - without cuts in salary? How can early and mid-career professionals anticipate and prepare for changes in demand for skills so they remain employed in good jobs? These and related issues will be discussed by Rita Koselka.
