What is Climate Change? 𝑾𝑯𝑨𝑻 𝑨𝑹𝑬 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑲𝑬𝒀 𝑷𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑨𝑹𝑺 𝑶𝑭 𝑬𝑺𝑮? How to assess organizational preparedness, readiness and effectiveness in the digital age of change and disruptive era of emerging technologies? My Global Leadership Legacy, Milestones and Scientific Journey as a successful global servant, transformational, and inspirational leader with world-class experience. I am a graduate from UNDP in Germany. I am thankful to the leadership team of UNO. I am grateful for this opportunity to sharpen my global leadership skills and competencies. I am passionate about upskilling and reskilling opportunities for executive career advancement. What is Global Leadership? " Dear Vanel, welcome to the virtual program at the "2024 Global Shapers Annual Summit. It kicks-off today, July 10, 2024": What does it take to become a successful C-suite Executive in the digital age of change and disruptive era of emerging technologies? 1) How to define the world's TOP 100 High Risks and Global Challenges, including Climate Change, Corruption, Fraud, Skill Gaps, Global Markets and Financial Systems Cybersecurity Threats in 20204? What is Climate Change? 2) What is Policy? Does AI have a major impact on Policy design, adoption and implementation? What are the stages of the policy process? 3) What is the C-suite? About the fiduciary duty of the board of directors? What is the difference between the Council, the Steering Committee and the Oversight Committee? "Dear Vanel, welcome to the "powerful wave of young change-makers". They are rising, demanding to be heard and making their mark on society. In celebration of this youth-led movement, the Global Shapers Annual Summit 2024 will take place under the theme, Dare to Innovate." Global Governance Forum: Evidence based solutions to governing globally. What is Policy? Do Policies Matter? Does AI have the potential to streamline the writing steps in Policies? Absolutely! Policies are the foundation for a well-functioning society and organization. AI and Policymaking: Does Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) have the potential to significantly impact policy design, formulation, adoption, and implementation? What is the United Nations Organization (UNO)? "After three years of intense negotiations, World Health Organization (WHO) member states have missed their critical deadline to finalize a pandemic treaty. Despite the urgency highlighted by recent global health crises, member states have been granted a one-year extension to reach an agreement." "The Global Governance Forum believes that joint, coordinated action, based upon clear and legitimate common goals, can dramatically improve the way the world is being run and managed today. The Forum seeks to catalyze substantive, wide-ranging and inclusive conversations on systemic changes to our current global governance architecture."

The rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is not just transforming existing jobs but is also giving birth to a new category of employment: new collar jobs. https://lnkd.in/emPN4Hjn #futureofwork

#GenerativeAI will lead to job cuts this year, CEOs say https://lnkd.in/ez5K8wZm Furthermore, there is growing evidence this is the case, at #AI begins to affect the #employment market. #AI #talent @FT

While I am all for progress, perhaps we should be more comprehensive in our view and expectations of AI. I remember the great anticipation society had regarding the arrival of computers and their expected contributions to work and our quality of life. Just as with AI, it was said that computers would make employees more productive. Also, because workers would be able to complete their work in shorter amounts of time, they would have more free time to enjoy life. This is similar to the expectation that AI will allow for a four day work week and that much of non-creative work will be done by AI, freeing up workers to engage in more enjoyable creative work. That expectation, however, was only partially accurate. While computers have undoubtedly enhanced employee productivity, we now have less time – not more – to enjoy life. And the reason for that is straightforward. The fundamental nature of business is to prioritize company profit over people. The bottom-line rules…. As employees were able to complete their work in less time thanks to computers, they did not benefit by receiving a shorter work week but instead were expected to do more work. Enabled by technology, today one employee does the work of two or more employees, with countless workers in industrialized societies experiencing in their lives greater levels of work-life imbalance and stress. We take our work with us wherever we go; are expected to be available beyond normal business hours; and expected to reply instantly. While AI will certainly bring countless improvements to our lives, perhaps a more realistic and holistic view of AI’s potential impact is warranted. Perhaps we should take a bottom-line look at AI, but not from the perspective of business but instead from the more inclusive perspective of society as a whole. For example, let’s take the idea that, because AI will take over performing routine tasks, workers will enjoy focusing on creative work. I believe we need to include in that calculation additional factors…. For instance, what portion of workers will actually be capable of doing creative work? What happens to those employees who are not able? Since the pioneers of AI have already made clear that generative AI will be smarter than humans, handle greater amounts of data, and do so quicker than people, what percentage of “creative work” will actually be left for people to do? While I am all for technological progress, perhaps society would be better off factoring in a more holistic view and expectation regarding AI’s impact. After all, in the final analysis isn’t the most important calculation regarding AI whether its total merits will out outweigh its total demerits? And, not as I am saying, but rather as the pioneers of AI are continuously warning the world, since AI will take over and has the potential of being an existential threat to mankind, is there any other bottomline calculation more important?

In the Irish Independent, Harry Goddard, our CEO, discussed how AI will transform the job market and the importance of upskilling and embedding technology and access in our education system. Harry emphasised that organisations who embrace change will stand the best chance of unlocking the benefits of AI and that Ireland is uniquely positioned to succeed in the fourth industrial revolution.

What this graph is showing? The results of a study on how artificial intelligence (AI) will affect different occupational groups. This data comes from a report published by the World Economic Forum, created in collaboration with Accenture. Few insights: 1. The job department most impacted by AI is IT, with 73% of tasks predicted to be automated or significantly altered. 2. Finance ranks second with 70% of tasks facing a large impact from AI. 3. Customer Sales and Operations are also expected to see a majority of tasks heavily influenced by AI, at 67% and 65%, respectively. 4. HR and Marketing departments are anticipated to have more than half of their tasks impacted significantly, with 57% and 56% respectively. 5. The analysis is based on over 19,000 tasks across 867 occupations, as of September 2023, suggesting a broad and detailed study. #ai #artificialintelligence #aitools #aijobs #aiimpacts #jobshift
