Speakers: Carl-Benedikt Frey, Ni Ying, Kian Katanforoosh, Li Xueying, Ayumi Moore Aok With an active population of over 1 billion, the Asia-Pacific region is at the forefront of workforce transformation. As AI and emerging technologies reshape industries, the region has the opportunity to harness entrepreneurial talent, upskill its workers, boost productivity and advance regional mobility. How are leaders harnessing human capital and technological know-how to create a new working environment that balances innovation and worker well-being?

Carl Benedikt Frey: How Progress Ends: Technology, Innovation, and the Fate of Nations SPEAKERS Carl Benedikt Frey Dieter Schwarz Associate Professor of AI & Work at the Oxford Internet Institute MODERATOR Agata Stremecka Four Reasons Foundation, CEO

How will progress end? In this event, Carl Benedikt Frey – one of the leading scholars of technology and the economy – will discuss his new book, How Progress Ends. To appreciate why we cannot depend on any AI-fueled great leap forward, Frey offers a remarkable and fascinating journey across the globe, spanning the past 1,000 years, to explain why some societies flourish and others fail in the wake of rapid technological change.

"If you take the top 10% of people in the U.S., they are now accounting for roughly 50% of consumer spending, which is extraordinary." AI & Work Associate Professor at Oxford Internet Institute Carl Frey on the K-shaped economy.

Todas las épocas de innovación tecnológica disruptiva han traído consigo profundos cambios sociales y en el mercado de trabajo. En la revolución que estamos viviendo en la actualidad debemos utilizar nuestro sistema educativo y de bienestar para ayudar a la población a adaptarse a estas nuevas tecnologías digitales, porque si no es así, no vamos a ser capaces de adaptarnos a esta transformación, y vamos a perder no sólo puestos de trabajo, sino la sociedad tal y como la conocemos. #enlighted #educación #inteligenciaartificial #ia #formación #innovación #habilidades #tecnología Más información en: https://www.enlighted.education

Carl Benedikt Frey, University of Oxford Oxford University economist Carl Benedikt Frey explores the puzzling disconnect between rapid technological advancement and stagnant economic growth. He begins his insightful DLD Munich presentation with a provocative thought experiment: if car manufacturing had advanced at the same rate as computing since 1982, a Rolls Royce would cost less than $3! So why isn’t the economy booming? Frey argues that while automation is beneficial, it offers diminishing returns. He illustrates this by comparing the automatic elevator (mere automation) to the telescope (enabling new possibilities). True progress, he suggests, lies in using technology to create entirely new industries and opportunities, not just automate existing ones.

This seminar with Dr. Frey takes a look at the history of technological progress and how it has radically shifted the distribution of economic and political power among society’s members. From the Industrial Revolution to the age of artificial intelligence (AI), this seminar takes a sweeping look at the history of technological progress and how it has radically shifted the distribution of economic and political power among society’s members. The Industrial Revolution created unprecedented wealth and prosperity over the long run, but the immediate consequences of mechanization were devastating for large swaths of the population. Middle-income jobs withered, wages stagnated, the labor share of income fell, profits surged, and economic inequality skyrocketed. These trends broadly mirror those in our current age of automation, which began with the Computer Revolution. And they are likely to continue as AI technologies are gradually implemented. We conclude by exploring the impact of COVID-19 on automation, offshoring, and remote work.
