AI and its impact on the workforce

This ONLINE session is available to PGRs, research staff and research-related professional services staff from the University of Liverpool, Sumy State University and our University partners.

Joining details will be sent 2 days and 2 hours before the session begins to the email address you registered with.

Please note - if you are unable to attend, you can register to be sent the resources from the session only by choosing a non-attending ticket.

We’ll be looking at three areas:

1. AI: With recent AI developments such as ChatGPT, we’ve seen how disruptive and fast moving technology can be and it’s clear that businesses are not ready for the change. Once businesses feel the impact of change, what does this mean for the workforce, and how do we prepare those entering the workforce today for tomorrow?

2. Skills: The tech industry has the biggest skills shortage, and with Manchester and the North West tipped to be the next Silicon Valley, how do we encourage a diverse mix of people, including those without a STEM background, that a career in tech could be for them?

3. Diversity: The broad spectrum of tech roles and possibilities mean that diversity, and neurodiversity, are key. We’ll share some of our research that really shows why tech can be a career for everyone.
