SUMMARY:AI\, Innovation\, the Future of Careers: Competing in the Global Economy
DESCRIPTION:Join WADSIH for an evening keynote with Stephen Ezell\, Vice President for Global Innovation Policy at the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF) in Washington\, D.C. Stephen advises governments and industry worldwide on national competitiveness\, innovation policy\, trade\, and critical and emerging technologies. He is the co-author of Innovation Economics: The Race for Global Advantage (Yale) and Innovating in a Service-Driven Economy (Palgrave Macmillan). \nIn this session\, Stephen will explore how AI and emerging technologies are redrawing the global innovation map — and what it means for Western Australia’s economy\, its industries\, and the careers of the people who work in them. Expect a candid\, internationally-informed perspective on where the opportunities are\, where the risks lie\, and how WA can position itself to compete. \nWhether you work in policy\, industry\, research\, or technology — or you’re simply thinking about where AI takes your career next — this is a chance to hear a global perspective and connect with the people building WA’s innovation future.
