chief researcher of the Future World Research Centre
Just accept change. Keep learning and working hard. Today's choices will influence your future.
Some jobs today will disappear in the coming years. However, there will be more challenging jobs in the future, such as space pilots and AI experts.
Robots will work everywhere. Service robots will do almost all our housework. Robots will also help save lives when disasters and emergencies happen.
AI will not replace humans because it doesn't have human creativity and emotional intelligence. AI will change how people work, study, and live. For example, a smart refrigerator will know what you need and order food for you when you're running low.
