Overview
In a 2024 report on Generative AI and the future of work, the International Monetary Fund reported that:
“Almost 40 percent of global employment is exposed to AI, with advanced economies at greater risk but also better poised to exploit AI benefits than emerging market and developing economies. In advanced economies, about 60 percent of jobs are exposed to AI, due to prevalence of cognitive-task-oriented jobs.”[1]
In contrast to previous revolutions in technology and work, the professions are more vulnerable to impact and change from artificial intelligence.
At the same time, these ‘cognitive-task-oriented jobs’ will also need to navigate using artificial intelligence more than others and to take part in navigating what our codes and guidelines in these areas should be[2].
This online symposium will bring together academics, practitioners, researchers, and others to discuss what generative AI means for the professions and for professional ethics.
Topics of Interest
Questions to be explored will include:
· What does AI mean for the professions?
· What does AI mean for professional ethics?
· What impact with AI have on education and training pathways for those in the professions?
· What does the public have a right to expect of the professions with respect to AI?
· What does AI mean for the role of special knowledge in the professions?
The AAPAE invites abstracts on these and related topics, to be submitted before 30th of November 2024.
