The problem with the changing world of work is not so much the loss of opportunities as the period of transition.

Polarization of the labor force as low-skill jobs continue to be automated as this trend increasingly spreads to middle-skill jobs. This implies higher potential levels of inequality in the short-run, and a need for labor market flexibility to harness Fourth Industrial Revolution benefits in the long-run.

5 Things AI Can Do Better Than Humans

Search the web quickerRankBrain understands the meaning of words and phrases, can guess what should be to the top ranking pages in never-seen-before searches. Humans could guess 70% of the time, while RankBrains success rate was 80%.

Work in deadly environmentsa UC Berkley teamused deep learning to teach robots fine motor skills, such as screw caps on bottles, or use the back of a hammer to remove a nail from wood. The technique simulates eye-hand coordination in humans and the research results show that robots can now match human dexterity and speed.

Translate in many languages

Get a PhD quicklyBy combining genetic algorithms with genetic pathway simulation the researchers created a system that was able to make the first scientific theory to be discovered by an AI: of how flatworms (or the species planaria to the initiated) regenerate body parts. The AI-generated theory will have a significant impact in human regenerative medicine.

Deliver a correct medical diagnosisThe result?IBM Watsons accuracy ratefor lung cancer is 90%, compared to a mere 50% of human physicians.

Kitty couldnt fall asleep for a long time. Her nerves were strained as two tight strings, and even a glass of hot wine, that Vronsky made her drink, did not help her. Lying in bed she kept going over and over that monstrous scene at the meadow.

Not in the future but NOW

Not just new technologies

New business models

Uber AirbnbAmazonKickstarter Self-publishing Blockchain Open access education: Coursera, edx, Kahn Academy, Udemy

Entrepreneurial skills: Turning opportunities into income

Managing a non-linear of portfolio career Being a wide achiever not a high achiever

Since 2000: 2 salaried jobs (18 mo, 9 mo)Since 1973: 8 salaried jobs (1-2 yr, 5 yr)

1. What are we doing here, now, to foster these skills? Incorporating digital technologies in our teaching practice?Experimenting with new modes of teaching, e.g. jigsaw classroom, flipped classroom, participatory learning, peer-to-peer learning?

Two questions to think about:

2. What are you doing to prepare yourself for the next chapter in your career, your life?

3. Whats your 100 Year Plan?
