Description
Artificial intelligence is transforming workplaces at breakneck speed—but is it also taking away jobs?
As companies race to adopt AI, workers are asking a question that hits close to home: Will AI replace me? In this special Talking Point Forum, host Diana Ser brings together workers who lost their jobs during recent retrenchments, industry leaders, AI experts and labour representatives to unpack one of the biggest workplace anxieties of our time.
Through emotional first-hand accounts, frank debate and practical demonstrations, the forum explores whether AI is truly to blame for layoffs, why some companies are getting the transition wrong, and what it really takes to stay relevant in an AI-powered economy. From busting myths about AI literacy to showing how anyone can build AI-powered tools in minutes, the discussion reveals that the future of work isn't just about technology—it's about people, skills and adapting with confidence.
As AI reshapes jobs faster than ever before, the conversation moves beyond fear and speculation to answer the questions every worker and employer is asking: How do we prepare? Who gets left behind? And what does it take to thrive in the age of AI?
