Main point: "We are hurtling towards AI, machine learning and robotics at breakneck speed and people are being left behind. This means a risk of job loss in an already struggling climate."
More about it:
- The risks grow for those not keeping up. "One and a half million people in England are at high risk of losing their jobs to automation in the coming years, and a 2019 Office for National Statistics report revealed that 70% of them are women."
- When is the right time to prepare yourself for change? "Now more than ever is a good time to become the person in your company who has learned to master the newest software."
- It's truly time to get with the program. "Even for those who are proudly the 'least' techie, it is time to change tune."
Takeaway: It's less about becoming a data scientist and more about taking responsibility for learning how to use the new AI tools that are coming out.
