@billionairenewsroom: Johan Rupert Raises Concerns Over AI and Automation’s Impact on Jobs Speaking at an international business forum, South African billionaire Johan Rupert highlighted the growing risk of technological disruption as artificial intelligence, robotics and automation continue to transform industries worldwide. Rupert cautioned that while technological advancement drives productivity and economic growth, it could also contribute to significant job displacement if governments, businesses and educational institutions fail to prepare workers for the changing economy. He stressed the importance of reskilling, upskilling and adapting education systems to ensure people remain relevant in an increasingly automated world. As machines take on more routine and repetitive tasks, the focus must shift toward developing human skills that technology cannot easily replace, including creativity, critical thinking, leadership, problem-solving and relationship-building. The conversation around the future of work is no longer about whether automation will change the labour market, but how quickly societies can adapt to ensure economic growth remains inclusive and creates opportunities for all. #FutureOfWork #ArtificialIntelligence #Automation #Upskilling #Reskilling
