As Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things, and robotic technology advance, will highly skilled jobs demanding high wages be eliminated or will it create entirely new job roles spurring a new era of growth? How can we prepare for a post-employment society? If increasingly large numbers of people with varying skill levels are no longer needed to create goods and services, how will we engage people? The Global Talent Summit 2017 will look at the technological, economic, socio-economic, and political dimensions of a Post Employment World.
