What work looks like has changed throughout history, mostly driven by technological advances. Given recent advances in robotics and AI and projected trends, there are a number of predictions that foresee widespread and dramatic effect on work. For instance, one estimate is that 45% of current jobs are susceptible to automation. Attitudes and predictions about this potential future differ and regardless of degree, change is difficult. As the globe is amid this shift and predicting further change, how are different faiths responding? How should they respond? Come hear this diverse and qualified panel respond to these and other questions.
