Written by Connor Lokar | Jun 14, 2024 2:14:23 PM

The internet changed the world as we know it. Now AI and automation are generating similar levels of hype and promise. The question is – is this new trend all sizzle, or is there some substance to it?

In the years ahead, major countries around the world will be facing demographic challenges in the form of either decline or, at a minimum, slowing growth in populations and workforces. This would be daunting enough for any nation on an individual basis.

We will also discuss who might be the winners and losers in terms of job loss or creation.
