The Future of Work… I. The workplace will change.

• Automation and artificial intelligence.

Whitehouse, Rojanasakul, and Sam: Is Your Job About to Disappear?: QuickTake" https://www.bloomberg.com/gra phics/2017-jobs-automation-risk/

• 47% of all jobs are projected to be vulnerable to automation and AI • Projected impact lessens with educational attainment

Strategies 1. Invest in and develop AI for its many benefits; 2. Educate and train workers for jobs of the future; and 3. Aid workers in the transition and empower workers to ensure broadly shared growth.

• Automation and artificial intelligence. • Cybercrime and security.

The dark side of AI and automation… • Cybercrime damages worldwide projected to exceed $6Trillion US annually by 2021. • Fastest growing crime in the US. • Potentially the greatest transfer of wealth in history. • More profitable than traffic of all major illegal drugs, combined. • 3.5M unfilled cybersecurity positions by 2021. • 0% Unemployment rate among qualified specialists.
