Generative AI and the Future of a Tech Nebraska with Laurel Oetken

Business Ethics, Walk the Talk

Do you feel worried that the super smart and capable robots are coming to take over your workplace? In this episode of the Walk The Talk Pod with Blake Peterson, we explore the relationship between Generative AI and the future of jobs with Laurel Oetken, executive director of the newly created Tech Nebraska, an organization focused on building connections in our tech community, while advocating for pro-growth, and pro-business tech policies with an eye on growing Nebraska’s innovation future.

We talk to Laurel about how AI is actually being used in companies today, and why it might create more opportunities than it eliminates. We also discuss the skills you'll need to thrive in the age of AI, and what schools and businesses can do to prepare the next generation for the changing workforce. Break through the overblown conspiracy-brained fears and approach the real issues that we will have to tackle sooner rather than later. A new skill base, next generation of education and STEM careers, and how businesses must remain cautious but have to get themselves involved not before they get left behind. Myths, truths and realities of how AI can be your powerful partner, not your replacement on this episode of Walk The Talk, a podcast brought to you by The Business Ethics Alliance.
