The OII Podcast Ep. 4: Jobs of the future

The future of work in an AI-driven world, whether these new technologies help or hurt the labour market, and what employees should be doing to future-proof their skills, with Dr Fabian Stephany (Oxford Internet Institute) and El-Iza Mohamedou (OECD).

In the fourth episode of the OII Podcast, our experts discuss topics such as:

• How AI is affecting the labour market and reshaping the skills landscape in the world of work
• How employers can support employees with upskilling and training to ensure workforce capabilities stay relevant
• The disproportionate impact of new technologies on existing socioeconomic and geographic inequalities and who stands to gain (and lose) from these changes

Dr Fabian Stephany is a Departmental Research Lecturer in AI & Work at the Oxford Internet Institute (OII), University of Oxford, a Research Affiliate at the Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society in Berlin and a Fellow at the Brussels-based Think Tank Bruegel. Leading the SkillScale Project, Fabian investigates the emergence of new skills and the sustainability of novel occupations in times of technological disruption.

El-Iza Mohamedou is the Head of the OECD Centre for Skills which supports countries to achieve better economic and social outcomes by taking a whole-of-government approach and engaging with stakeholders to develop and implement better skills policies.
