    IBM conducted an experimental Twitter chat about how AI may affect jobs. Experts from IBM discussed how AI will create new jobs and change existing work. Key points included: - AI is an opportunity, not a threat, and will create new jobs rather than eliminate them. However, workers will need new skills as tasks change. - Employers should prepare by reskilling workers, adopting contract/freelance labor, and helping workers develop skills to work with AI like creativity and lifelong learning. - To prepare personally, workers should understand emerging technologies, map how AI may affect their careers, and fill skills gaps through continued learning of things like coding, business, and soft skills.

    IBM Training & Skills conducted the fourth in our series of experimental Twitter chats on
    September 12th about “How AI might affect your job”. Our first, in April, focused on “Which
    skills are essential in the modern workplace”, our second, in May, was about achieving eminence
    in your workplace, and our third, in July, focused on cybersecurity.

    We were joined by a few experts from IBM for our conversation:


    • Armen Pischdotchian, Global University Relations
    • Joseph Kozhaya, Watson and Cloud Adoption Leader
    • Stephen Choquette, Watson Offering Manager for Strategic Partnerships

    We asked six questions about careers in cybersecurity (and have highlighted a few of the
    responses:

    Q1: Is AI going to kill jobs?


    • Is AI going to kill jobs? No. Every indication shows AI will create significant net new jobs.
    • Robots ‘are here to give us a promotion,’ not take away jobs, @Gartner says in report back in
    2017: https://gtnr.it/2LQdzQs #AI is an opportunity and not a threat, but we do need to prepare
    for it https://ibm.co/2UcEaLn

    Q2: How will AI change the way we work?


    • Leading organizations are planning to adopt AI in the workplace, some in the form of virtual
    personal assistants, speech recognition, machine learning, and natural language processing – see:
    https://elearningindustry.com/artificial-intelligence-in-workplace-role-shaping-future
    • How will AI change work? 85% of Jobs that will exist in 2030 haven’t been invented yet

    Q3: What skills will be needed in the future?

    [TRANSLATION NOTE: TRANSLATE THIS GRAPHIC]


    • An interesting study just published today by @burning_glass and @BCG shows skills needed
    by flagship, fast-growing, high-growth, modest-growth and declining jobs. A combination of
    technical, business and soft skills will be needed. https://on.bcg.com/2LLpoHD

    Q4: Who will be affected the most by AI’s appearance in the workplace?
    • The World Economic Forum states that there will be 133 million new jobs, many in new roles,
    75 million jobs eliminated and 54% of existing employees will require significant reskilling and
    upskilling http://bit.ly/2Do2DbK
    • AI will affect employees at all levels and in different ways. Adopting AI will help improve the
    functionality of the workplace by focusing on high value activities.

    Q5: How should employers prepare for the “rise of the robots” (AI in the workplace)?
    • How will employers prepare for #AI? Reskilling is going to be massive.
    https://gulfnews.com/world/robots-displacing-jobs-means-120-million-workers-need-retraining-
    1.1567761354074

    • How will employers prepare for #AI? Contract work is going to grow. Between 50-66% of
    employers are likely to turn to external contractors, temporary staff and freelancers to address
    their skills gaps. http://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_Future_of_Jobs_2018.pdf

    • According to a survey done by @accenture Employers need to 1) Reimagine work 2) Pivot the
    workforce to new areas 3) Scale upskilling and reskilling initiatives

    reworking-the-revolution-jan-2018-pov.pdf#zoom=50
    • Employers should skill up their workforce to help them adopt and leverage AI. A key business
    driver for AI is improving the productivity of the workforce by automating mundane tasks and
    preserve enterprise expert knowledge. https://www.business2community.com/tech-gadgets/how-
    artificial-intelligence-increases-business-productivity-
    02059942#targetText=According%20to%20a%20study%20by,up%20valuable%20time%20for
    %20employees

    Q6: How can you personally prepare for the “rise of the robots” (AI in the workplace)?
    • Know what employers will be looking for, what’s trending. Consider 1st course in #AI learning
    journey. Understand what’s possible from a tech view. Map your plan, how AI will apply to your
    current and next jobs. Then fill in the gaps.
    • How can you prep for AI? Develop your uniquely human skills, like creativity, originality,
    analytical thinking and innovation. Keep tech skills current, then earn #openbadges to signal
    your capabilities. https://www.inc.com/wanda-thibodeaux/youll-need-this-1-skill-to-keep-your-
    job-when-ai-takes-over.html
    • In the words of @tomfriedman “In this age of accelerations, everyone is going to have to raise
    their game in the classroom and for their whole lifetime” We need to become #lifelonglearners
    and hone digital, business and human skills
