SFAN recognizes the unprecedented impact of technology on the world of work in Africa, and is organizing this forum to explore the following questions:
- What key jobs will be impacted by intelligent technologies?
- What are key strategies employees can use to deal with intelligent technologies?
- What can a business do about the impact of intelligent technologies in their organization?
