Essential Skills for IT Professionals in the AI Era
Artificial Intelligence is transforming industries worldwide, creating new opportunities in health care, finance, customer service, and other disciplines. But the ascendance of AI raises concerns about job displacement, especially as the technology might automate tasks traditionally done by humans. This article presents some skills IT professionals need to stay relevant, including key insights into AI ethics.
Framing Cognitive Machines: A Sociotechnical Taxonomy
This paper proposes a taxonomy for the analysis of socio-economic disruptions caused by technological innovations. A transdisciplinary principled approach is used to build the taxonomy through categorization and characterization of technologies using concepts and definitions originating from cybernetics, occupational science, and economics. Concrete illustrations of concepts and uses are offered, including an Industry 5.0 case study as an application of the taxonomy.
Gender and Technology: The Case of the Energy Sector
Energy policy is often formulated in a gender-neutral manner; that is, it is assumed by policy makers that women and men use and benefit equally from current energy systems. However, policies are incorrectly considered neutral by policy makers since they ignore the differential impacts they have on different genders and socioeconomic and cultural groups. Based on such false assumptions, the policies are less effective and/or have unintended effects. This white paper by the IEEE Dignity, Inclusion, Identity, Trust, and Agency (DIITA) Industry Connections Program discusses these issues.
