The Human Cloud: How Today’s Changemakers Use Artificial Intelligence and the Freelance Economy to Transform Work
With the technical world of work changing rapidly, don’t leave anything to chance. In The Human Cloud, two workforce productivity and technology experts lay out a clear picture of the coming revolution in how work is done and how jobs are shaped, empowering you with practical advice to take charge of your future.
If you listen to the news, robots are coming for your job. Full-time employment will soon be a thing of the past as organizations opt more and more to hire employees on a contract basis. And thanks to technological advances across email, video, project management, and instant messaging platforms, being tied to a desk working full time for one company is becoming obsolete.
These predictions have many of us asking, “Where does that leave me?”
The Human Cloud just may be the most important book you read to prepare for the future of the way work is done. In these pages, a human cloud technologist and an AI expert help you not only clearly understand the transition you see happening around you, but they will also help you take advantage of it.
By replacing fear with knowledge, you will better understand how this shift in employment is a good thing, be equipped to embrace the positive advantages new technology brings and use it all to your benefit, and further secure how your own job is shaped so you are never left behind.
Topics unpacked in The Human Cloud include:
- How employees and employers will be able to take advantage of the new automated and freelance-based workplace.
- How they will be able to take advantage of the new technology disruptions the machine cloud will create.
- Why the changes employees and employers are seeing aren’t the projection of doom that many are predicting; they can actually create many new career opportunities.
- How to navigate the coming job marketplace.
