The Future of Work & AI in Society
TalkAbout the Session
The future of work depends not only on innovation—but on inclusion. This session explores how professionals across sectors can be equipped with the AI skills needed to thrive in a changing digital economy. Drawing from real-world examples across Africa and beyond, we’ll unpack practical, scalable strategies for workforce upskilling, including how to demystify AI for non-technical professionals, close the digital skills gap, and build AI literacy as a foundation for sustainable growth. Attendees will leave with actionable insights on designing inclusive, forward-looking training programs that empower people—not replace them.
