AI and generative platforms like ChatGPT are changing the job market, with automation leading to job displacement and the emergence of new industries and job opportunities. The future job market will require a combination of technical and soft skills, with an emphasis on adaptability and lifelong learning. Academic institutions must adapt their curricula to prepare students for this changing landscape. Additionally, sustainability considerations must be integrated into AI-related careers and collaborations to address global challenges. Workshop these issues with Prof Johan Steyn.
