Opening keynote: Working in an AI-future

Automation seems to be sweeping through society relentlessly, creating new types of jobs. Will Artificial Intelligence create a next wave of job replacements, and unlike earlier waves create massive unemployment? Or will this unfounded fear once again not become reality, and will we find new jobs that have not yet been invented? What type of leadership will be required for such a new reality?

After a word of welcome by Robert-Jan Smits, Carlo van de Weijer will keynote on the trends and guidelines on how the future of work might look. How can you make sure you are still at the wheel of your own career, and if so, in what direction should you be steering?
