Description

Many of us are considering how we might protect ourselves and our careers if artificial intelligence gets smart enough to do our jobs better than we can.

Although unemployment is low in Australia and we are yet to see an AI jobs ‘tsunami’, economic modelling claims up to a third of Australians could be made jobless because of this technology in just five years.

So what can we do about it ourselves? And are the Government and the union movement doing enough to help us adapt? In part three of the Briefing’s special series on AI and your job, Bension Siebert speaks to Deputy Secretary of the Australian Council of Trade Unions Joseph Mitchell to find out.
