About this event

What should the next generation learn – and what should they stop worrying about – in a world transformed by artificial intelligence? AI is rewriting the rules in the classroom, the job market and the workplace, leaving parents, teachers, students and all types of workers unsure of how best to prepare for what lies ahead. In What Should My Children Do? , globally renowned economist Daniel Susskind cuts through the outdated advice to show us what young people actually need to succeed now. From reorganizing the curriculum to re-imagining white-collar careers, Susskind maps a smarter, more productive path forward that encourages people to master new technologies without eroding other essential skills. Drawing on fifteen years of research – from personal tutors to scientific breakthroughs – this book is an evidence-based and practical guide to one of the most urgent questions of our time, written by one of the leading experts on work and technology . Daniel will be joined in conversation by researcher, broadcaster and author, Stephanie Hare . Her first book, Technology Is Not Neutral , was named a Financial Times Best Technology Book of summer 2022, and her writing has featured in the Financial Times, The Washington Post , the Guardian and the Observer .
