It’s no coincidence that design thinking, creativity, and customer experience have gained prominence in a world of digital disruption. By 2025 some predict that up to 60% of present jobs could be automated by robots.
In an era when industries such as financial services, manufacturing, education, health, and energy are to fundamentally change with technology. As we head toward the singularity, how will we as individuals negotiate this?
Should we race against the machines, or run with them?
Join us as we explore these topics with Michelle Williams and Brian Lim.
