Everyone works as something—a plumber, an engineer, a teacher, a doctor, a farmer, a priest, a nurse, an architect, a thief, an accountant, a secretary, a sleuth, a court jester, and even a politician: just to name a few of these work archetypes. The transition to an Artificial Intelligence (AI) society or a Digital Economy (DE) is disrupting all work archetypes, and a re-think and re-design of these roles is long overdue. In ten case studies by the B4Life.Institute, Dr. Tai Kindakital Goya outlines a holistic approach for an inclusive transition to the Digital Economy. During such large-scale technological transitions, five key questions ought to guide the digital transformation strategy:
What form should functional roles assume in the Digital Economy (DE)?
How can work roles be designed to inspire digital offerings?
How can our “Sitting Rooms“ be designed as Creative Environments for Messing Around (CEMA)?
How does Artificial Intelligence (AI) inspire adaptive strategies for future work systems?
How does Artificial Intelligence inspire organizational resilience?
These selected cases are drawn from 10 foundational sectors of an AI Society, namely: 1.1 Smart Agriculture, 1.2 Smart Education, 1.3 Smart Energy, 1.4 Smart Governance, 1.5 Smart Health, 1.6 Smart Infrastructure, 1.7 Smart Manufacturing, 1.8 Smart Mining, 1.9 Smart Security, and 1.10 Smart Trade. In the first of these case studies, Episode 1 (Smart Agriculture), Dr. Tai Kindakital Goya proposes the Pagoda Smart Farm concept to form part of a repertoire of systemic solutions for an inclusive digital transition in the agricultural sector. Due to the systems approach by the B4Life.Institute, each proposed solution for a sector impacts other sector. Join us in designing solutions for each of these 10 sectors, wherever you are located. In this episode, Dr. Tai Kindakital Goya presents a solution linked to aquaculture and education dilemmas. Welcome!
