Our World in 2030

What World We Chose: RED WORLD Eight Futures of Work: Skilled Flows

These scenarios—the “skilled flows” world and the “Red World” of rapid innovation and personal achievement—present contrasting visions of the future of work, yet both anticipate a strong link between technology and talent. If these trends continue, by 2050 we might see a fusion of these two scenarios: a hyper-dynamic workforce, in which talent thrives globally and technology empowers individuals to make direct, international impacts. However, this world would also bring heightened inequality based on access to technology and education, as well as the potential for rapid obsolescence of skills.

What we think:

Our world is a perfect incubator for innovation with organizations and individuals racing to give consumers what they want.

• In the Red World, innovation rules

Workforce of the future: The World in 2030

But in a world where ideas rule and innovation outpaces regulation, the risks are high. Today's winning business could be tomorrow's court case.

Digital platforms and technology enable those with winning ideas and allow specialist and niche profit markers to flourish. Businesses innovate to create personalization and find new ways to serve these niches.

• Projects quickly flourish, evolve, and resolve as specialists move frequently and stay only as long as the project or business lasts.
• Larger organisations scour the world to 'acqui-hire' talent and intellectual property using specialist talent strategists and AI to identify the specialists they want.

Interview

"They should consider taking up such lines of work as artificial intelligence, data analytics, and graphic design. These areas are seeing an explosive increase as people grow more and more obsessed with data."

"Can you think of any other professions that would benefit the new generation given how the Red World functions?"

"Back in 2024, cyber security was about defense against standard threats mostly. However in 2030 that has immensely changed because the growing number of cyber threats, they have now reached a point where even legitimate hackers have found out they can leverage technology in the form of AI and other innovative devices. We are now being required to use automated systems based on AI to not only predict attacks but to prevent them too which completely overhauled our way of doing business in terms of cybersecurity more such that it is more efficient and more flexible in its approach."

"How is cybersecurity in our world different from the cybersecurity in the year 2024?"

"Hi I'm camry I live in a world where the prominence of technology and AI cannot be overstated. In the 2030s, our world world creats a innovative and competive society. I work as a cybersecurity director, specifically protecting companies and other people from complex cyber crimes. And with all things – digital, which accounts for almost everything in todays world, it is my task to protect systems as well as data from potential hackers."

"Hi Camryn, could you tell me about the world we live in today and what your occupation is."

Skilled Flows

• Steady technological change has led to the large-scale automation of manual and routine tasks. Still, most medium—and high-skilled roles remain relatively untouched by disruption, particularly those requiring non-cognitive skills and the completion of complex tasks.

• Deep concerns about the disruptive potential of rapid technological change have resulted in long-overdue reforms in education systems, sparking companies to invest heavily in training systems and reskilling.

ABOUT SKILLED FLOWS:

Both of these worlds have rapid technological changes

RED WORLD

We connected these worlds to the book we read in class called "Bullshit Jobs" by David Graeber. We connected these two because technology takes over in these worlds, job specialization becomes less specific, and the book talks about jobs that are useless in America.

how these worlds connect to our class:

" We have become a civilization based on work—not even “productive work” but work as an end and meaning in itself. Shit jobs tend to be blue collar and pay by the hour, whereas bullshit jobs tend to be white collar and salaried. "
