Attend the forum called “The Future of (No) Work and Artificial Intelligence: UC’s Response” at Niehoff Urban Studio
Event Information (passed)
UC Forward, in association with the Center for the Enhancement of Teaching & Learning, the Taft Research Center and the Otto M. Budig Family Foundation, invites all faculty members to a forum called "The Future of (No) Work and Artificial Intelligence: UC’s Response."
The forum will be held at the Niehoff Urban Studio, featuring keynote speaker Lee Rainie from Pew Research and UC faculty from 2-5:15 p.m., with UC Talks at 3:30 p.m. An informal “meet and greet” reception will follow the program.
The development of Artificial Intelligence and its convergence with other technologies like robotics, business analytics and digital communications will bring profound changes to our society. Many economists predict that many of the jobs for which we now prepare UC students will not exist in a few short decades.
Our society will be challenged to respond to these dramatic changes with new public policy frameworks and individuals will be challenged to find ways to live creative and meaningful lives unanchored by careers.
Lee Rainie
UC, like all institutions of higher education, must adapt to these changes if it is to continue to be relevant to our students and to our society. It seems increasingly clear that we must be prepared to change our curriculum, what we teach, how we teach it and our research — a key component of Next Lives Here, UC’s strategic direction for academic excellence and innovation agenda.
