Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how businesses execute their operations and communicate with their customers. Using human-like computers, companies have begun automating most of the functions previously done by humans because AI can perform them much better, faster, and efficiently.
This revolution has led to a change in skills requirements in most jobs, and as the technology gets stronger, robots will supersede human efficiency and intelligence in every task. As a result, HR leaders are now preparing for the future of the work through learning and reskilling. Since AI is smarter, some jobs are either being automated or replaced with AI and robots. This leads to the question, “Is my job safe?”
Still, there are certain jobs that can’t be replaced with a computerized device. They require coordination, creativity, emotions, empathy, and more. Here are the jobs that will soon be replaced by AI and robots and those that can’t be automated.

In the new “low touch” economy, where businesses have been forced to operate remotely due to COVID-19, the shifts in how we work are unlikely to be reversed. According to the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs 2020 Report and article on the future of jobs, more than 80% of employers expect to use remote work and digitize processes. Remote work is here to stay. The realities of remote work, digitization and rapid shifts in human capital require massive transformation in how we approach growth and performance.

4 May 2021, Kampala, - A new project is underway across the country, strengthening digital literacy training capacities of 25 public and community libraries. The initiative will provide internet access and training to 13,500 women and unemployed youth and connect them to free online learning opportunities over the next two years (January 2021 to March 2023). “Digital skills@your local library" project will raise awareness about the facilities available at the libraries and offer training and support to librarians so that they, in turn, can engage communities in learning. A combination of online classes and group library training on both computers and mobile devices will be offered to communities through libraries. The project is funded by Belgium, through the Wehubit programme implemented by Enabel. It is implemented by two international non for profit organizations, EIFL and P2PU, and two local organizations - The National Library of Uganda, which is in charge of library development in the country, and Maendeleo Foundation, which has deep roots in development of digital literacy in Uganda. “By the end of the project I it is hoped that we will be seeing our communities in a much better position as far as digital literacy is concerned,” said Adonia Katungisa, Director of the National Library of Uganda, “It is important that we work with libraries to train trainers that can meet local skills needs and grow a network which can support this initiative further.” Initial visits have been made by project coordinators to meet and engage local officials and libraries and to consult with people who could potentially benefit from training in each of the selected libraries across the country. These visits set out to establish, early on, the digital skills that could have the biggest impact on people’s lives in each community, revealing a desire by community members to learn about subjects including farming, hairdressing, searching for a job, business administration, online banking and much more. “In every library we visited I saw lots of excitement from women,” said Asia Kamukama, Executive Director of the Maendeleo Foundation, “I met one woman who said she will use every spare minute to try and learn something new. She told me - people judge us because we aren’t educated and are without skills. This project is an opportunity for us to prove that we can learn and improve our prospects for the future.”

Welcome to 12 Objects - a 450th Anniversary digital exhibition series which tells Jesus College’s rich and vibrant story through some of the objects in our collection. Curated by a range of experts led by Helen Morag Fellow Professor Paulina Kewes and College Archivist Dr Robin Darwall-Smith, this series will bring to life the stories of the people who have made the Jesus community what it is today. Each month we will announce a new object, tell you about it's history and hear from one of our expert curators. Object 5 - The Collected Works of James I (1616) By College Librarian, Owen McKnight, Senior Research Fellow, Professor Sue Doran, and Helen Morag Fellow, Professor Paulina Kewes Our edition of the Collected Works of James I is one of the highlights of the books housed in our 17th century Fellows’ Library. It houses 11,500 volumes, with the oldest book printed a century before the College’s foundation, and still older manuscripts deposited for safekeeping in the Bodleian. The personal libraries of five Principals are preserved in the Fellows’ Library, together with the printed ‘bookes in latine and greeke’ bequeathed by Edward, Lord Herbert of Cherbury. College Librarian Owen McKnight, Senior Research Fellow, Professor Sue Doran, and Helen Morag Fellow, Professor Paulina Kewes, explore the Fellows’ Library and its treasures in a new film to be released on Wednesday 19th May, including copies of Edward, Lord Herbert of Cherbury’s Life and Reign of Henry VIII, the Collected Works of James I, the First Folio of Ben Jonson, and the Second Folio of William Shakespeare. Object 4 - Punch Bowl (1732), Sir Watkin Williams Wynn The magnificent ten-gallon silver-gilt punch bowl was given to the College by the Welsh alumnus, magnate and politician, Sir Watkin Williams Wynn (1692-1749). The occasion of the presentation was the award of an honorary doctorate in 1732. The bowl weighs over 200 ounces (5.7 kg) and is by far the most substantial and memorable piece of college plate. It has not only served at table at the St David's Day feast, but has apparently in emergency served the college Chapel as an improvised font. It can be conjectured that when donated, this capacious vessel would have held enough warmed alcoholic drink to serve a ladle-full to every member of what was then a much smaller college. (In the eighteenth century, spirits were often drunk mixed and warmed, following both contemporary taste and contemporary medical opinion.) It can be assumed that the gift of such a piece of plate would be accompanied by a stipulation that the health of the donor should be drunk in the liquor which it contained. But what did drinking the health of Sir Watkin really mean, and what was drunk from it? Find out more about the dissident politics of the punch bowl from Professor Peter Davidson in our fourth video as part of the ‘Jesus College in 12 Objects’ series. WATCH NOW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9KjHzgJvvc Don’t forget that you can watch the videos about our first three objects on the Alumni YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpoyqwsAome5FRm4s-6ULyQ. Object 3 - The Red Book of Hergest By Thomas Charles Edwards, Emeritus Fellow We are pleased to share the third video in our special 450th anniversary series, ‘Jesus College in 12 Objects’. Here Emeritus Fellow and Former Chair of Celtic, Professor Thomas Charles-Edwards explores the history and scribal composition of one of College’s most precious treasures, The Red Book of Hergest – the largest single Medieval manuscript collection of Welsh literature and history, containing both poetry and prose. Watch the video, to explore the contents of The Red Book, its annotations by successive readers, and the story about how College came to own this unique literary object. With special thanks to Dr Andrew Dunning, Supernumerary Fellow in Book History, for the beautiful videography of The Red Book. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPHQGx5QAzo #JC12Objects #JC450 #WelshCollege Object 2 - Charles I Watch (1630s) By Dr Felicity Heal, Emeritus Fellow This watch, likely made by the royal watchmaker Edward East in the 1630s, is one of the smallest treasures in the College's collection. It is also one of the most mysterious. Donated to College by our great 17th century Principal Leoline Jenkins, we don't know for certain who owned it prior to him. However, it has long been conjectured that it was part of the possessions of Henrietta Maria, wife to Charles I. Was this one of the watch-loving King's many timepieces? And what does it reveal about Leoline Jenkins? Dr Felicity Heal reveals what we know about this beautiful timepiece, and introduces us to another item from our collection with links to Charles I. Watch here. Object 1 - The First Two Charters of Jesus College By Dr Norman Jones The First Charter of Jesus College is written on a single sheet of sheepskin vellum, measuring 24 by 35 inches (or 615 by 885 mm), by a professional scribe in the Queen’s Chancery. Granted by Elizabeth I on June 27 1571, it declared the incorporation of ‘Jhesus Colledge within ye City and University of Oxforth of Quene Elizabethes foundation.’ It named its first Principal, David Lewis, its eight fellows, and eight scholars. The fellows were mostly Welsh lawyers; the scholars had nothing to do with Oxford and never matriculated. It recognized Hugh Price as making the founding gift of £60 in annual rents (only about £15,000 in modern money) though it did not name him as founder. It declared the object of the foundation to be to fight against 'heresies and impieties' (i.e. Catholicism) and to produce scholars of 'true Christian' (i.e. Protestant) theology; and it mentioned nothing about serving the Welsh nation. The £60 endowment was too small and very hard to collect, even though Price augmented the first gift with 60 Marks [about £15,700] cash and his books when he made his will. The committee appointed in the charter to write the foundation statutes did not do its job, either. Consequently, Jesus had to be re-chartered in 1589. The Queen named a new committee to draft the College statutes and doubled the amount of property the College could hold in ‘dead hands’ (i.e. 'mortmain', which stipulates that assets may not be sold). It gave Jesus the stability needed to prosper, though it would have to be re-chartered one more time. Listen to Norman talking in more detail about the story of the Charter here. Read a partial translation of the Charter here.

International investors are rushing to fund a boom in the African cloud computing market, as the expansion of smartphones and mass adoption of business software on the continent leads to soaring demand for data centres to power the technology. Africa currently accounts for less than 1 per cent of total available global data centre capacity. However, its capacity has doubled in the past three years. Rising opportunities in Africa Microsoft has launched its first African cloud data centres last year in the country, which is a key growth market alongside Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana and already accounts for roughly half of Africa’s data centre capacity. Meanwhile, Amazon Web Services plans to open a cluster of centres in Cape Town in the coming months — the company’s first foray on the continent. Cloud computing and installation of data centres could be key to speeding up Africa’s development.
