Summary: The future of work is so much more than AI and automation. It is all the technologies of the fourth industrial revolution and how they are being used in different industries plus industry specific technologies which are changing all industries in ways we never imagined. Drones are transporting medical equipment to accident sites; huge undersea tunnels are being built and senior homes are using virtual reality to improve the health of their patients.
