The accounting firm Ernst and Young has released a report today that warns Australia is not doing enough to deal with the workforce disruption generated by digital technologies like robots and artificial intelligence.
The report finds that we are at an “automation tipping point,” and that if governments, universities and employers don’t work more effectively on reskilling the Australian workforce, we’ll be left behind.
The report’s author, Ernst and Young partner Dr Juliette Andrews, said it was alarming that around two thirds of the Australian workers surveyed said they’d given no consideration to how their job would change as technology develops.
