- How can we become proactive related to the decision making and underlying potential biases embedded in AI models?
- What is the potential for AI to automate jobs that will lead to unemployment or under-employment?
- How will it impact their future career prospects?
- How can we best prepare the skills we will need to adapt to the changing job market?
