“We, as people, are creating the technology – we can shape the way it’s used. There are some serious challenges to deal with but it’s about us dealing with those challenges as humans – it’s not about the technology driving what we do.”
- Paul Daugherty, Accenture
In reaction to the dystopian view of AI and unwilling to accept it, Paul Daugherty and H James Wilson set about researching and writing Human + Machine: Reimagining Work in the Age of Artificial Intelligence. Written as a guide to help people make informed decisions and plan for the future, Paul Daugherty talks to Paul Miller about some of the key themes from the book.
While some jobs will cease to exist in the new era of AI, new ones will be born – Paul Daugherty explains why reskilling is a competitive imperative and will be “the biggest challenge of our generation”. This thought-provoking discussion also touches upon digital identity and data access; “the missing middle” (a glimpse at some of the new jobs that await us); and why trust will be pivotal in the success of AI projects.
