We are experiencing significant upheaval, marked by threats to global health, democratic institutions, and economies. A critical issue emerging from this turmoil is the transformation of workers' roles due to automation and artificial intelligence. Jamie Merisotis, president and CEO of Lumina Foundation, emphasizes the need to prepare for collaboration with smart machines, focusing on uniquely human skills: critical thinking, ethical reasoning, interpersonal interaction, and empathetic service. In his latest work, Merisotis outlines a roadmap for radical changes necessary to secure abundant and meaningful work in the 21st century. His vision prioritizes the development of human capabilities through accessible lifelong learning opportunities that yield fair outcomes and a diverse range of credentials, from degrees to certifications. By challenging traditional workforce concepts and broadening our understanding of work, he believes we can unlock the population's potential, foster community, and dismantle long-standing inequalities. As urgent issues persist, it's imperative to redesign education, training, and workplaces. While technology may displace many jobs, promoting deeper human potential ensures that engaging work will remain available.
