Hello, Vancouver!



Brain Drain in the Age of AI: Why We Need More Brains (of the Human Kind) Trained in AI

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence is transforming industries and reshaping the future of work. However, a significant hurdle stands in the way: a critical shortage of professionals equipped with the necessary AI skills. This lecture delves into the multifaceted challenge of the AI skills gap and explores pathways to bridge this divide.

We will examine the current landscape of AI talent, highlighting the urgent need for data scientists, machine learning engineers, AI ethicists, and crucially, individuals who can translate technical AI capabilities into real-world applications across diverse sectors.

Furthermore, we will explore the vital role of reskilling and upskilling the existing workforce. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into our daily lives and professional environments, equipping individuals with AI literacy, data analysis skills, and the ability to collaborate with intelligent systems is paramount. We'll discuss effective strategies for empowering the current workforce to navigate and thrive in an AI-driven future.

And finally, prepare to have your mind slightly boggled by the brand-new job titles popping up thanks to AI. Forget "chief innovation officer," we're talking about roles that might sound like they belong in a sci-fi movie. We'll explore how we can cultivate the talent needed for these futuristic careers, ensuring we have enough human ingenuity to guide our AI overlords... I mean, assistants.
