AI and the Future of Work

Event details

Discussions about the introduction of AI in the workplace can divide opinion. Should we see this future trajectory as releasing workers from repetitive tasks and increasing efficiency and productivity? Or is there a risk of jobs being lost and a decrease in empathy and human interaction? What control would there be over the algorithms being used by AI?

There is certainly a role for AI for unsafe tasks that people should not, or cannot, do, but ‘low-value’ tasks are an important part of the learning curve for many employees. Our work is also an important way we define ourselves in society. Will AI open up new opportunities or threaten traditional patterns of work?

Following the 2025 AI Action Summit in Paris, join our panel of expert speakers from France and the UK as they discuss whether we should fear or embrace AI in the workplace.

This event is part of the Festival Focus ‘Securing Our Future’ presented in collaboration with the French Embassy in the UK. You may also be interested in 'Protecting Our Blue Planet' taking place on Wednesday 11 June.
