問題詳情
第二篇： To a large extent, the public discussion over the future of work has followed a storyline that says technologyand globalization are coming to whisk your job away. Artificial intelligence threatens to make many professionsobsolete. About 47% of the U.S. workforce is in jobs at high risk for becoming automated within the next twodecades, according to the 2013 Oxford University study. On the bright side, experts believe that although technology would displace certain kinds of work, it wouldalso free us up from drudgery, leading us to invent new kinds of work. But they also conclude that while somehighly skilled workers would triumph in the new work order, others would be forced into lower-paid jobs orsuffer permanent unemployment. The real issue remains: whether our educational system is adequately preparingus for work of the future, and right now it seems that our political and economic institutions are poorly equippedto handle these hard choices. What is happening now rings the alarm bell on looming “mass structural unemployment” in the U.S. as aresult of technology, globalization, longevity and an educational system that has failed to keep pace. Experts urgethat society must do more to prepare for change. Then who should be responsible for such preparation? Inaddition to governments, corporations can play a very significant role. Businesses have the greatest visibility asto how jobs are changing. If they can’t fill jobs, and that is a problem today, they have a real need in terms ofday-to-day business. Besides, corporations have great resources for talent and human capital development toprovide skills needed.
