New forms of automation are radically transforming society. Advanced robotics and artificial intelligence are increasing productivity and improving lives. However, what will happen to our jobs and what skills will we need to perform them? In the following talk, David will provide answers to these questions and explain why we should look at technological developments with hope, rather than fear. David Timis is a EU Civics Outreach Fellow at Google and the Co-Founder of European Heroes, an initiative aimed at encouraging civic engagement among young Europeans. He is also an active member of the Global Shapers Community, a network of inspiring young people working together to address global challenges, and a Country Representative for the Common Futures Conversations project launched by Chatham House to facilitate dialogue between young people in Africa and Europe. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
