Description
In partnership with the Organisation of American States (OAS), this session will explore how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping jobs, skills, and local economies across Latin America and beyond. As Generative AI and automation continue to evolve, industries will face significant shifts in skills demand, requiring workers to adapt to new roles and technologies. Cities and regions must take proactive steps to ensure their workforces are equipped for the future of work, from strengthening management and business skills that complement AI, to investing in digital skills, AI literacy, and STEM education.
This discussion will examine where AI-driven changes are having the greatest impact and where they will continue to do so in the future, identifying sectors at risk of disruption as well as emerging opportunities. It will also explore the role of policymakers, educators, and businesses in preparing young people for an increasingly tech-driven labor market.
