Panelists from the World Economic Forum, Gojek, and Dyson convened to analyze the displacement of 75 million jobs by 2030 while advocating for a strategic pivot toward continuous learning and behavioral skills like resilience. The discussion highlighted how automation augments human productivity in sectors such as Southeast Asian ride-hailing and banking, yet warns that without legislative reforms and corporate investment in gig workers, low-skilled laborers face significant economic exclusion. Speakers proposed a future workforce defined by social impact and creative fulfillment, urging governments to implement skills credits and updated labor laws to support a transition where technology and human intelligence coexist.
