This paper explores the evolution of occupations within the context of industry and technology life cycles, highlighting the critical yet underexplored intersection between occupational trends and broader economic dynamics. Introducing the Occupation Life Cycle (OLC) model, we delineate five stages (i.e., growth, peak, fluctuation, maturity, and decline) to systematically explore the trajectory of occupations. Utilizing job posting data from one of China's largest recruitment platforms as a novel proxy, our study meticulously tracks the fluctuations and emerging trends in the labor market from 2018 to 2023. Through a detailed examination of representative roles, such as short video operators and data analysts, alongside emerging occupations within the artificial intelligence (AI) sector, our findings allocate occupations to specific life cycle stages, revealing insightful patterns of occupational development and decline. Our findings offer a unique perspective on the interplay between occupational evolution and economic factors, with a particular focus on the rapidly changing Chinese labor market. This study not only contributes to the theoretical understanding of OLC but also provides practical insights for policymakers, educators, and industry leaders facing the challenges of workforce planning and development in the face of technological advancement and market shifts.

Today's digital economy is powered by data, which is produced in abundance by both individuals and enterprises and stored in vast data centres, according to GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company. The company's latest report, 'Big data – Thematic Research', details how several prominent business people and a number of leading publications have described data as the new oil, capable of generating significant value if used in the right way. Many big data vendors have had to contend with a growing market perception that data governance, security, and management have taken a back seat to accessibility and speed. In response, most companies are now accepting the challenge and openly prioritising data governance. This is expected to result in multiple disparate solutions being replaced by single data management platforms, leading to efficient scalability, collection, and distribution of data.

Anyone observing the news can see that artificial intelligence and machine learning have been getting lots of attention for the past few years. It goes without saying that startups are playing into this trend and raising more money than ever, as long as they have AI or cognitive technologies in their business plans or marketing material. Not only are startups raising increasingly eye-opening amounts of money, but venture capital (VC) funds themselves are raising skyrocketing levels of new capital if they focus their portfolios on AI and related areas. But are we in a bubble? Are these VC investments in AI realistic or out of control?

India's higher education sector has supplied some of the world's best talent. The CEOs of some of the biggest Fortune 500 companies--Microsoft, Google, Mastercard, and Adobe--are a product of the Indian higher education system. The landscape has also expanded over the past decade--from 436 universities in 2009–10 to 903 in 2017–18 and from 26,000 colleges to over 39,000.1 Student enrolment, at 36.6 million, is the third-largest in the world, next to China and the United States.2 Besides, India is already in the middle of the "demographic dividend" with a surge in its younger and working-age population, which is estimated to become the world's largest by 2030.3 India is expected to account for about 20 percent of the total young talent pool supplied by the non–Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) G-20 countries.4

After little more than a week, Google backtracked on creating its Advanced Technology External Advisory Council, or ATEAC--a committee meant to give the company guidance on how to ethically develop new technologies such as AI. The inclusion of the Heritage Foundation's president, Kay Coles James, on the council caused an outcry over her anti-environmentalist, anti-LGBTQ, and anti-immigrant views, and led nearly 2,500 Google employees to sign a petition for her removal. Instead, the internet giant simply decided to shut down the whole thing. How did things go so wrong? And can Google put them right?

Marx argued that under capitalism, everyone must work to live. We have some freedom to chose what type of work we do. But few of us have the choice not to work at all. Most of us need to find some particular task(s) we can do in exchange for a wage. And we cannot just walk away if we do not like it.

Developments in AI, automation, augmented reality and robotics have spurred on changes that merely a few years ago would have been unimaginable. From self-driving cars to drones and even predictive analytics developments in genetic research, every sector seems to be going through significant changes. The Pew Research Centre highlights that nearly half of US adults use a voice assistant to interact with their smartphones and devices. Indeed investors are increasingly attuned to these changes with PE houses such as Apax Partners, CVC and KKR collectively investing over $3bn in technology-focused funds. While developments in technology have already catalysed fundamental changes in the way we live our lives, further seismic shifts are still expected.

Following the corporate corruption scandals of the early 2000s, then-Securities and Exchange Commission chairman William Donaldson said determining the company's moral DNA "should be the foundation on which the Board builds a corporate culture based on a philosophy of high ethical standards and accountability." Today's crisis of confidence in technology companies, especially those controlling deep pools of data and developing and deploying artificial intelligence, not only demands more responsible engineers, entrepreneurs, and executives but more assertive boards who make ethics and the public interest strategic priorities. Board of directors' responsibilities include hiring, firing, and holding the CEO's feet to the fire, as well as approving and overseeing the company's strategy and ensuring the integrity of company financials. Boards must also set a tone at the top of ethics and responsible business practices. Norms and standards are still emerging; laws, regulations, and legal precedent are scarce; and pressure groups are still finding their voice and translating concerns into actionable demands.
