are you ready for the 4th industrial revolution?

Are you ready for the 4th industrial revolution?

World leaders are predicting our entrance in the 4th industrial revolution lead by Artificial Intelligence

“We all dreamed of the day when robots would effortlessly takeover our mundane chores like doing the dishes”

AI can already do more than that…

checkout my new robotic vacuum! Man those things are useless.

I will vacuum the flesh from your inferior bones!! Wh-What!?

Uh, Beep boop…

drive cars

make art

beat humans at Go

And will soon take over your job

Oh…Haven’t you hard?- The industrial revolution is over..we won…

Forget Science Fiction!

Governments are starting to prepare for this Tsunami. The White House recently release a report estimating that 83%

of U.S. low wage jobs will be automated.

That represents 66 Million Jobs affecting 62% of American workers.

Should we sounds the alarms of panic and call Sarah Connor?

Probably not. We should keep calm, embrace this industrial revolution and prepare our workforce for it.

Keep calm and carry on.

Education, as we know it, is obsolete. It still acts as a gateway to knowledge that is no longer needed with the rise of Internet.

Schools as we know them cannot keep pace with our fast changing world.

It’s impossible to predict what will be needed: “65% of children in primary school today will end up working in

new job types that don’t yet exist.”

-World Economic Forum 2016

To be successful professionals will need 3 important skills:

Complex Problem Solving

Critical Thinking

Creativity

Individuals will have to quickly adapt to take on new opportunities; they will no longer have a single career, but

multiple careers that span different areas of expertise, which will require them to master completely different sets of skills.

So how can we apply this to better prepare our future workforce?

Several software engineering schools already addressing this.

Using a project-based & peer learning approach to teach problem solving, critical thinking and creativity.

Students have no formal teacher, no lecture and learn by practicing. This will permit them to better adapt and acquire

new skills, even after graduation.

I am hungry as well AI

There is no doubt that Artificial Intelligence will consume our world, as well.

Although these changes will continue to materialize over the coming few decades and not overnight, their impact will be so

tremendous that we need to start preparing now.

But until AI rises up…

I must go back to do the dishes!
