Advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, robotics, and machine learning (smart machines) impact understandings about the nature of work. For professionals, semi-professionals, and ancillary workers supplying healthcare and legal services, for example, smart machines change the social relations of work and subvert notions of status and hierarchy that come with occupational groups such as doctors or lawyers. As smart machines continue to disrupt employment, job advertisement might soon carry the warning that humans need not apply. Under the prospect of a new world of work, people require additional knowledge, skills, and attitudes to cope with a future where smart machines radically alter the nature of work in settings where some people work anywhere and anytime while others work nowhere. In any future, people require skills and attitudes to cope with uncertainty. Ideas about multiple intelligences, emotional intelligence, critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving will help employees cope with any of the futures of work predicted in the literature.

This article presents a dilemma related to increasing use of robots at work. Artificial intelligence could erase jobs or create them, but economists agree that a new generation of smart machines will alter the rules of employment. Two emerging technologies that will help robots learn even faster are cloud robotics and deep learning, an advanced type of machine learning that allows robots to learn things that humans understand tacitly. However, robots require controlled environments, while humans, who are more flexible, can cope with unstructured tasks. That same adaptability is essential for medical technicians, plumbers, electricians, and many other middle-skill jobs. The experts expect pressures on middle-skill jobs to eventually reverse because these jobs combine not only knowledge, but also adaptability, problem solving, common sense, and the ability to communicate with other people. Businesses are already pairing human flexibility with mechanical precision.

Nowadays society is profoundly changed by technology, velocity and productivity. While individuals are not yet prepared for holographic connection with banks or financial institutions, other innovative technologies have been adopted. Lately, a new world has been launched, personalized and adapted to reality. It has emerged and started to govern almost all daily activities due to the five key elements that are foundations of the technology: machine to machine (M2M), internet of things (IoT), big data, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI). Competitive innovations are now on the market, helping with the connection between investors and borrowers—notably crowdfunding and peer-to-peer lending. Blockchain technology is now enjoying great popularity. Thus, a great part of the focus of this research paper is on Elrond. The outcomes highlight the relevance of technology in digital finance.

Conversational interfaces such as Apple’s Siri or Amazon’s Alexa allow technology companies to reach deeper into the social fabric of our societies than they already had. For centuries we used media to speak with each other; now to speak directly to a device has become normal. To understand this reorganisation further, this chapter explores the technology that drives it—the new Artificial Intelligence driven by machine learning—and links it back to social organization such as to the bias conversational interfaces learn from the data they are trained with, and to bots that start to converse in their own human-like language.


The human brain is an extraordinary machine. Its ability to process information and adapt to circumstances by reprogramming itself is unparalleled, and it remains the best source of inspiration for recent developments in artificial intelligence. This has given rise to machine learning, intelligent systems, and robotics. Robots and AI might right now still seem the reserve of blockbuster science fiction movies and documentaries, but it's no doubt the world is changing. This chapter explores the origins, attitudes, and perceptions of robotics and the multiple types of robots that exist today. Perhaps most importantly, it focuses on ethical and societal concerns over the question: Are we heading for a brave new world or a science fiction horror-show where AI and robots displace or, perhaps more worryingly, replace humans?

In the near future, as artificial intelligence and computing network technology develop, collaboration with artificial intelligence (AI) will become important. In an AI society, the ability to communicate and collaborate among people is an important element of talent. To do this, it is necessary to understand how artificial intelligence based on computer science works. AI is being rapidly applied across industries and is developing as a core technology to enable a society led by knowledge and information. An AI education focused on problem solving and learning is efficient for computer science education. Thus, the time has come to prepare for AI education along with existing software education so that they can adapt to the social and job changes enabled by AI. In this paper, we explain a classification method for AI machine learning models and propose an AI education model using teachable machines. Non-computer majors can understand the importance of data and the AI model concept based on specific cases using AI education tools to understand and experiment with AI even without the knowledge of mathematics, and use languages such as Python, if necessary. Through the application of the machine learning model, AI can be smoothly utilized in their field of interest. If such an AI education model is activated, it will be possible to suggest the direction of AI education for collaboration with AI experts through the application of AI technology.

This project interrogates a workshop leader and whole-meeting talk among a group of scientists gathered at a workshop to discuss cyberinfrastructure and the sharing of both ‘light’ and ‘dark’ data in the sciences. This project analyzes discourses working through the workshop talk to interrogate the social relations, interdisciplinary identities, concerns, and commonalities in the sciences and in relation to emerging opportunities for computing and data sharing in the cloud. The findings point to the efficacy of arranging scientists around data collection processes for collaborative work as opposed to groupings around data type, discipline, work sectors, or collection location. This research provides an opportunity to consider the democratization of data, academic boundaries in the sciences, as well as interdisciplinary and collaborative problem-solving processes that happen in groups across academic and applied contexts.
