We urgently need to change the narrative on AI in the workforce

There's no denying the pandemic accelerated the fourth industrial revolution, a concept coined by professor Klaus Schwab at the World Economic Forum five years ago to describe the vast digital transition that is fundamentally changing our lives. But the breadth of the tech transition Schwab predicted in 2016 seemed far-off to most at the time. Now, with a post-Covid era in our sights, we've learned how viable remote school and work is, we've seen the most archaic institutions embrace the change, and we've at long last witnessed the adoption of digital healthcare. Accept it, and then enjoy it. We've officially entered an era in which new technologies fuse the physical, digital, and biological worlds. Advancements in artificial intelligence are an integral part of that shift.
