Being a Human Worker in 2030

**This event will be held in person and online. Please choose desired ticket at checkout.

Event Summary

As AI and automation evolve at an unprecedented pace, what does the future hold for human workers? AI-powered agents, real-time learning systems, and smart robots are reshaping industries—augmenting existing jobs and creating new jobs while eliminating others. How can professionals prepare for this transformation? What skills will remain uniquely human and valued?

Join us for this special Austin Forum event featuring a conversation about these and related questions, as well as a futurist, a technologist, a psychologist, and a doctor who focuses on human empathy as treatment. As we all learn to understand, use, and embrace AI and prepare for more automation in our employers and lives, this conversation will help us also understand our strengths as humans in the future workforce and what we can do to adapt and enhance our own careers' futures.
