Samantha, Justin, Frank Boulier, Joseph Kamau, Max Dewhurst

This event examines the complex transition toward a future where automation and artificial intelligence reshape the global workforce by displacing 45% of jobs while simultaneously generating 133 million new roles through human-technology collaboration. It details the surge in location independence driven by a digital nomad population forecast to reach one billion by 2035, alongside the rapid expansion of co-working spaces and the polarized impacts of the $50 billion gig economy on both developing regions and wealthy nations. Furthermore, the presentation analyzes the ethical and operational implications of workplace surveillance technologies, such as sociometric badges and robotic swarms, which are currently redefining employee monitoring and productivity metrics at companies like Ocado.
