One day, 3 acts! Fri 27 Sep.
Two acts at Generations AI x Design conference by Temasek Poly - School of Design (TP Design), one at School of MetaSkills
ACT 01: FUTURE OF WORK
[talk + workshop]
I had an opportunity to speak on the topic, and conduct a workshop to explore relationship of humans with work and technology.
I. We dug deeper into fundamentals of
a) ‘what essentially is work’?
b) ‘what it means to be human’?
c) ‘what is human-machine relationship’?
d) 'how will 'human-machine' relationship evolve in post AI world?
II. We created ‘Our Future World’ at intersection of:
[Future Jobs] x [Future Skills] x [Future Collaboration Models] and [Future Tech/AI]
III. ‘My Future Self’ - “what can I be in this ‘Future World’ and what skills will I need to succeed?”

ACT 02: META-SKILLS TO SUCCEED IN A WORLD OF UBER-TECH
[talk + fireside chat]
I had a lovely time speaking alongside and discussing with Young Sing Er (Figma), Ching Yew Tung (Society of Interior Designers Singapore (SIDS), Alvina Goh (GovTech Singapore) and Sean Kelvin K. (Temasek Polytechnic ) on design and AI.
a) I put forth my view of skills we need to navigate the wold of AI.
b) ‘Learning gap’ in our education system has led to ‘skills gap’ in our work system,
c) how can we define and control our relationship with Tech/AI as if it were a new species.
