Robert H. Brown - AVP, Center for the Future of Work at Cognizant Technology Solutions

Throughout the world, in just about every industry imaginable, automation is eliminating more and more manual labor from processes that traditionally required human activity. Some sociologists & economists believe this changing reality will ultimately mean far-reaching changes for us as a society (basic income, redefining “full-time” employment, etc.). Robert H. Brown however, believes this digital transformation will create unprecedented new opportunities for those prepared to adapt. The Center for the Future of Work is a think tank where Robert & his team study the impact that AI, automation, and other advances will have on the nature of work. Among the Center's many videos & publications (see below) is a book entitled "What To Do When Machines Do Everything: How To Get Ahead In A World of AI, Algorithms, Bots, and Big Data". Robert shares intriguing insights from this book about the digital transformation now taking place in the corporate environment, and how the future of work will not only be different, but far better. • The Robot & I: Knowledge Work Made Smarter with Intelligent Process Automation • The Robot & I: How New Digital Technologies Are Making Smart People and Businesses Smarter by Automating Rote Work • How Smarter Robots Are Good For Business and Workers • Do You Know the 21 Jobs of the Future Driven By AI? • 21 Jobs of the Future - A Guide to Getting - and Staying - Employed Over the Next 10 Years • Augmenting the Reality of Everything • The Work Ahead - Soaring Out of the Process Silo
