Will AI make the workplace - wherever it is - more equal?
Will AI make the workplace - wherever it is - more equal?
COVID-19 has brought more flexible working, particularly homeworking, for many. Will those changes be sustained after the pandemic and allow previously excluded workers into the labour market? And how will the artificial intelligence revolution affect the jobs we do and who does them? With Drs Christopher Markou, Helen McCarthy, Neil Lawrence and Stella Pachidi.
This event is taking place in partnership with The Hay Festival (www.hayfestival.com)
A recording of this session is available to watch on YouTube.
