Are your skills about to become irrelevant in an age of artificial intelligence? Or can you reinvent yourself in time?
This talk looks at what algorithms are good for, and where they fall down.
It discusses the fallacy that underlies much of our thinking about context and how changing the way we think about context helps us understand the role we can play in designing the future.
It’ll help you identify where your core skills can help create the products and services of the future – and the challenges you’ll face in adapting.
It will explain how you can influence the work of the people writing the algorithms and sifting the data.
And it will share some of the tools, methods and documents that people have been working on to help you communicate your knowledge and ideas to the people writing the algorithms.
