It's a scary World!

By Gary Scot Robertson,

About this episode

What will AI mean for our children's careers and the people already in work? A conversation on the golf course prompts Gary Robertson to reflect on the future of work, changing skills and the responsibility of employers.

Gary shares his experience of using AI to turn a business presentation into a narrated video, then asks how organisations can respond to rapid change. His emphasis is on learning, retraining and helping people find a useful role as technology develops.

  • Why AI can feel exciting and unsettling at the same time.
  • Looking at everyday business tasks with fresh eyes.
  • Considering workforce development alongside efficiency.

This is Gary's personal perspective on a changing workplace, rather than a prediction about which individual jobs will disappear.

Reflect today: Which skill could you start developing now to feel better prepared?
