The future of work in an AI-driven world, whether these new technologies help or hurt the labour market, and what employees should be doing to future-proof their skills, with Dr Fabian Stephany (Oxford Internet Institute) and El-Iza Mohamedou (OECD).
In the fourth episode of the OII Podcast, our experts discuss topics such as:
- How AI is affecting the labour market and reshaping the skills landscape in the world of work
- How employers can support employees with upskilling and training to ensure workforce capabilities stay relevant
- The disproportionate impact of new technologies on existing socioeconomic and geographic inequalities, and who stands to gain (and lose) from these changes

Leading the SkillScale Project, Fabian investigates the emergence of new skills and sustainability of novel occupations in times of technological disruption.
El-Iza Mohamedou is the Head of the OECD Centre for Skills which supports countries to achieve better economic and social outcomes by taking a whole-of-government approach and engaging with stakeholders to develop and implement better skills policies.
Veena McCoole is Media and Communications Manager for the Oxford Internet Institute.
