In the next six years, we will be experiencing as much technological change as in the last hundred. Robots and artificial intelligence will put thousands and thousands of workers out of work. But what will be our role, will we share our jobs with the robots, what new skills will we need to survive?
The advance and implementation of new technologies demands new professional profiles. The demand for workers with expertise in STEM disciplines is growing at an exponential rate. In less than two years, more than 500,000 experts in ICT disciplines will be needed. And experts believe that this figure is an understatement. The current education system is failing to find a formula that engages students in technology careers. More than half drop out in the first year. We should also mention the low, and worrying, female presence in the classroom: only 30% of students are women.
Robots and new technologies create four jobs for every job lost. The advent of new technologies eliminates precarious, monotonous and automatable jobs and opens up a range of new, better paid professions in which the differential value is the human factor.
