Session description

The future of the current generation is headed towards transitory struggles within AI developments, which has important ties within the socioeconomic failures effecting children. Learn to address the lack of advancement for challenges facing the world, advancements in educational technologies, and economic downturns that will effect present and later generations.

Purpose & objective

This presentation aims to illuminate the interplay between artificial intelligence (AI) in the workplace, unemployment, socio-economic struggles, and their impact on students' most transitory periods of their educational journey. Our objective is to offer a comprehensive overview of economic and educational dynamics in an AI-driven era, investigating its origins and consequences while examining how AI technologies can lead to job disappearances and open up new employment opportunities. We plan to analyze the repercussions of new world developments and raise awareness about these critical issues, particularly among those that future generations will interact with, and the informative role an educator must demonstrate.
