SUMMARY:Hilary Cottam & Sarah O’Connor: New Ways of Working
DESCRIPTION:We’re continually told that the AI revolution will forever alter our relationship with work\, yet need that change be for the worse? Enjoy an invigorating discussion with two authors offering upbeat proposals for the future of work: Orwell Prize-winning Financial Times journalist Sarah O’Connor\, whose We Are Not Machines explores humans learning to master destabilising new technology\, and innovator and change-maker Hilary Cottam\, whose The Work We Need reimagines labour as a force for collective good. Chaired by Jarred McGinnis. \n\n\n\nSupported by Edinburgh Futures Institute.
