• New jobs will be created, including roles such as: Robot / AI trainer, Virtual reality manager, and Advanced data scientist.
• Work will be more flexible and fueled by technology. 75 per cent believe that tech platforms will provide instant access to highly specialized, on-demand talent.
• 57 per cent believe AI has the potential to make the majority of business decisions by 2035 and potentially eliminate the need for traditional senior management teams.
• “AI-ngels” – digital assistants driven by AI – will draw on personal and workplace data to help employees prioritise their tasks and time and ensure mental and physical wellness.
