CITY PRESS, 3 FEBRUARY, 2019 he World Economic Forum (WEF) report confirmed
most of the things we already knew – that
automation and machine learning are set to create
as many jobs as they displace, that the gig
economy and flexible contract work will become
Tstandard, and that a knowledge of data science is
going to be a key differentiator in the job market over the next
few years.

The future of work is more
human than you think
With more than two years having passed since the first Future
of Jobs report, there have been some new developments.
With the mainstreaming of chatbots and other consumer-facing
artificial intelligence (AI), there’s more of an understanding of
how machine learning might integrate into our society. Now that
we’ve had some time to get to know Sophia, Alexa, Pepper and
the rest, there are noticeably fewer “Are robots coming to steal
your job?” clickbait articles in the media.
The conversation around the future of work has shifted not to
how many jobs stand to be lost by big bad robots, but to how
organisations and individuals alike can shift their priorities to
benefit from the new reality. THE FUTURE OF

In just five years, the new report predicts that while 75 million
current jobs stand to be displaced, 133 million new jobs may
emerge at the same time – a net positive.
Moreover, as businesses get used to the new normal of AI
automation, flexible workplaces and task-specialised contract WORK
work, they’ll start to engage with the concept of work differently.
They’ll focus on how machines can assist in the augmentation of
their human labour for greater productivity and
creativity rather than simply seeing automation as
a cost-cutting measure.
By 2025, it is expected that more than half
of total time spent on labour will be
handled by machines. What’s really Forget the job coach. If you really want to
