Outline

What's it about?

The AI-fication of Jobs (2024) examines how artificial intelligence is changing tasks, professions, and the skills people need to remain effective in the workplace.

The book offers a framework for understanding these changes and encourages individuals, organisations, and governments to invest in practical AI knowledge, continuous learning, and responsible adaptation.
