Will AI Replace Me? Labor Trends and Your Unique Opportunity
As artificial intelligence reshapes the labor market, many professionals are asking the same question: What does this mean for my career? This session explores how AI is changing jobs—not just eliminating tasks, but redefining where human judgment, creativity, and discernment matter most.
Drawing on economic data and real-world examples, this session will examine current labor market trends, the skills most resistant to automation, and how professionals can position themselves for long-term relevance. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of where human value lies in an AI-enabled economy and how to invest in skills that complement, rather than compete with, technology.
Speakers include:
Giacomo Santangelo, PhD, professor of economics at Fordham
Marc Valentin ’11, FUAA Council Member and People Analytics Team Lead at UBS
