Mark participated in our Bridge-ing Big Data Workshop October 8 and 9 and did an excellent job. His Big Data and Technology expertise and insight greatly added to the tenor of the conversations and helped many traditional engineers think "outside the box."

AI Will Be A Job-Killer, and We Are Not Ready for It
Whenever a new technology reaches the mainstream, there is extensive debate on whether it will negatively or positively impact jobs. This time, with AI, it is no different. Many claim that AI will not replace jobs. It will merely change them, it will disrupt jobs but not kill jobs, AI will only make jobs worse, and robots will not steal our jobs. The argument goes that AI's implementation can enhance productivity and innovation, allowing humans to focus on more complex, creative tasks that AI cannot replicate. In addition, the argument goes that any disruptive technology in the past, from the printing press to the car to the personal computer, did not result in the loss of jobs but instead created more jobs. As a result, many believe that the current AI hype will lead to the emergence of new job categories, requiring reskilling and upskilling, thus generating opportunities rather than simply displacing workers.
