Ivanka Trump speaks in CES keynote address at CES 2020 in Las Vegas

Ivanka Trump laid out her vision for the future of work and technology's role in reshaping the American economy and workforce in the coming decades during a controversial'fireside chat' at the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) on Tuesday. Speaking the Venetian's Pallazo Ballroom - which just a night prior had been used to launch a slew of new robots and artificial intelligence by Samsung - Trump chose to focus on the business implications of technology. Trump said she had'no sympathy' for companies that complain about unskilled workforces, don't invest in're-skilling them,' and still lay off employees. While the president's daughter's talking points centered mainly on business, she said she believes that innovations like'robotic arms' would create jobs that aren't yet possible. Prior to her keynote, tech industry insiders hit out at the conference, questioning whether the White House advisor was a relevant speaker, but CES President and CEO, Gary Shapiro defended her presence and moderated her talk, entitled'The Path to the Future of Work.' Dressed smartly in pinstripes (left), Trump said she has'no sympathy' for employers who don't're-skill' their workers as she laid out her'vision' for the future workforce of the US and hit back at companies over layoffs Trump plugged the government panel she co-chairs, the American Workforce Policy Advisory Board - which includes members from Apple, and IBM - and took the private sector to task for their role in helping to train current members of the workforce.
