The Future of Work: Confronting One of the Biggest Challenges of the Next Decade

Technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and automation in all of its forms can augment human workers and enable them to pivot to more valuable work, and perform their jobs with more efficiency, safety, and ease. Yet there's justifiable concerns emerging regarding the potential of these technologies to displace human workers. Ronald van Loon is working in partnership with Protiviti, and was able to examine their recent study, Future of Work Top Risks Survey brief, which was conducted as a joint effort with NC State University, and lend his point of view as an industry analyst about the evolving dynamic between technology and the future of work. How we work changed dramatically over the course of the past year, leading to new remote and hybrid work models, changing workforce and employment trends, and ubiquitous technology adoption to accelerate the necessary transformation to sustain operations. Protiviti's findings indicate that the future of work is shaping up to be one of the most disruptive and definitive business challenges of the next decade.
