OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Fast Forward…. Or Not? Reframing The Automation and Future of Work Discourse
Please register for this event, details below.
Drawing on three years research and publication in deployment of robotic process and cognitive automation technologies, Leslie will first critique the often conflicting accumulating evidence and predictions about the impact of automation. He then provides an overview of service automation technologies as deployed at organizational levels, and their emerging impacts at work. This will lead into a major reframing of the debate about automation and work futures, pointing to eight major qualifiers to the more extreme predictions of job loss.
