She i s part i cu lar ly pass ionate about democrat i s ing emerg ing techno logy to enable bet ter so lut ions to be created for the wor ld ' s problems .
Advancements in ar t i f i c ia l in te l l igence (AI) are dr iv ing sh i f t s in not on ly the techno logy we deve lop but the type of work we do . As machines ga in the abi l i ty to perform tasks prev ious ly dedicated to humans , the sk i l l s we require and teach our s tudents wi l l need to adapt . Does th i s mean robots wi l l take a l l our jobs? No. However , i t does mean that knowledge i s no longer the currency of success . The abi l i ty to learn , to engage with others in soc ia l env i ronments , and to work in partnersh ip with machines wi l l a l l be key to future workers . In th i s presentat ion , Nata l ie wi l l in t roduce the concepts that make AI such a powerfu l too l . Drawing on major t rends in AI , she wi l l d i scuss where our future wi l l l i ke ly take us and what sk i l l sets wi l l come to the forefront as human-machine co l laborat ion becomes the norm.
