Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making waves at the World Economic Forum's (WEF) 15th Annual Meeting of the New Champions in Dalian, the Chinese mainland. Jeremy Jurgens, a managing director at the WEF and head of the Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, shared his optimistic views on AI’s role in the modern workforce.
Contrary to concerns about AI replacing human jobs, Jurgens emphasizes that AI serves as a complement to human skills. He believes that AI technologies can assist workers in upgrading their skills, enabling them to advance in their careers. This collaborative approach between humans and AI fosters a more skilled and adaptable workforce.
Jurgens also highlighted the rapid advancements within the Chinese mainland's innovation ecosystem. Supported by a robust technical and mathematical foundation, this ecosystem is propelling Chinese technological innovations onto the global stage. The synergy between AI developments and the strong innovation infrastructure is setting the stage for a future where technology and human expertise go hand in hand.
