Pack Your Bags for an AI-Driven Future! (45-60 min)
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a societal shift on par with the printing press, the assembly line, and the internet, and it's reshaping the future. As we hurtle toward an AI-driven future, today's youth stand at the epicenter of this transformation. They are poised to inherit a realm where AI is not just a tool but a transformative force already changing the landscape of all industries. From healthcare to finance, retail to manufacturing, AI already impacts the types of jobs available.
Given the transformative impact of AI, it's essential that we rethink our approach to career and technical education and prepare students for a future where AI is an integral part of daily life and work. AI will significantly determine the types of jobs available in the workforce, how we train people to do these jobs, and how we prepare students for their future. As these advances transform how, where, when, and even why we work, education must keep up with the changes. Education institutions that are not rethinking what students need in order to be equipped for this future will be left behind.
