Themes
Navigating the jobs of the future
Despite fear that innovation and digital disruption will lead to job loss, 54% of Australians believe technology actually creates job opportunities. During the Summit, we will put the spotlight on the implications of new technologies, such as AI, machine learning and robotics, for the public sector. How will these technologies change the work done by the public sector, the skills they need to have, and the skills they will need to recruit the future workforce? And how will these technologies interact with the tech sector?
Transitioning our workforce
99% of Australians believe innovation and new technologies are important to our future prosperity. Ensuring the digital literacy of our labour market is critical in shaping the quality and resilience of our future workforce. There is increasing pressure for skills development to be agile and flexible, to align with the pace of technology and changing work requirements. During the Summit, we will examine the skills and capabilities that are critical to how work is evolving with the rise of technologies, such as AI, automation and robotics. We’ll also discuss the role of STEM and the concept of lifelong learning.
Architecting an agile workplace for the future
52% of Australians believe Australia is a strong, stable country that will be able to adapt to change. As new technologies become more mainstream at work, what are the opportunities and challenges associated with architecting a workplace where pervasive technologies augment the role and activities of people? Explore the architecture and the necessary components to build an effective workplace of the future at our Summit – with a focus on implications for government and government service delivery.
Goals
The Summit is designed to initiate collaboration between government, industry peers and educators, and determine how best to prepare for a future workforce in which technology is an inevitable and integral part of how most work is done today.
The aim of the Summit is to facilitate the conversations that technology and digital leaders are driving. More specifically:
- The implications of new technologies, such as AI, machine learning and robotics, for future Government jobs and careers;
- The policy implications of these technologies, such as:
- Digital inclusion
- Transition arrangements as jobs of the future emerge
- Skills, education and training requirements
- Recruitment and HR
- The impact on existing industrial relations frameworks
- The skills and capabilities Government will value in its workforce;
- The legal and ethical implications for employers, employees, customers, and citizens in general;
- The strategy and the role of government in supporting the transition to the workforce of the future.
Make sure you’re part of this important agenda and register for the AIIA Navigating Technology and Jobs of the Future Summit in Canberra, 22 March.

| 9.15am | Navigating Technology and the Jobs of the Future. Developing the narrative that everyone ‘gets’ An important learning from the last Australian federal election is the importance of getting the narrative right. Despite both parties backing messaging about innovation being key to Australia’s competitiveness and growth, in the end what the electorate heard was – innovation means using more technology, technology means disruption, digital disruption means jobs are disappearing – ‘I’m going to lose my job’. With sometimes polarised views about the impact of AI, robots, automation on the future of work, what is the ‘right’ narrative – the one that citizens ‘get’ and buy into?
Dr Andrew Charlton, Director,AlphaBeta | |

| 10.40am | Using the customer experience for the right customer service experience As technologies such as AI, automation and robots become more commonplace in the workplace, what are the implications for government, government service delivery and the work and workers of the public service in the future?
Mr Mukul Agrawal, Chief Customer Experience Officer, Department of Human Services | |
| 11.10am | Technology, Government and the Customer Experience Despite the change brought about by modern digital technologies – even within the last 20 or so years, our ability to adapt and optimise the opportunities of digital change is testament to human innovation and resilience on the one hand, and the imperative for growth on the other. The growing use of automation, AI – machines generally, presents substantial opportunity for the Australian economy – for business and government alike.
Julian Clarke, Head of Human Resources, Telstra Enterprise | |
| 11.40am | Panel: The work that stays. The work that goes. The work that changes. What does the future of work in government really look like? History shows that technology has been a significant driver of job creation. In fact, in Australia alone, during the first 15 years of the 21st century the workforce increased by some 32% with job growth outnumbering job losses by a ratio of 10 to one. Reflecting on recent concerns about the impact of automation, AlphaBeta in its report The Automation Advantage, makes the point that “more than changing what jobs we do, automation is changing the way we do our jobs”. This panel hones in on what these changes may look like for the public sector and if there has there been any thinking and planning about how the nature of work and the conditions for work in the APS will be impacted by technologies such as AI, machine learning, augmented reality etc?
Kerryn Vine-Camp, First Assistant Commissioner, Australian Public Service Commission Martin Hehir, Deputy Secretary, Department of Employment | |
| 12.10pm | Panel: Augmenting the human factor: The role of technology While machines have changed and replaced some of what people ‘do’ at work, humans remain indispensable. Even with advances in machines and automation, computers remain far inferior to humans in handling unpredictable situations that require out-of-the-box thinking, empathy and understanding other humans. This panel will explore the likely relationship between machine and human labour in the future.

| 1.30 pm | The skillset of the future worker Rather than completely and dramatically replacing existing occupations and job categories, technological disruptions are more likely to substitute specific tasks, resulting in changes to core skill sets. While there will be exciting new opportunities, the jobs of tomorrow by and large, require us to prioritise and build on skills that are already in use today. What is the likely core skill set for the jobs of the future? Rob Fitzpatrick, CEO, AIIA | AI, machines and the Gig Economy – Reimaging the Workplace AI, automation, robots, drones, the ‘gig economy’ – suggest the possibility of a very different looking workspace and workplace. What does the reimagined workplace of the future look like? Jan Owen AM, CEO, The Foundation for Young Australians |

The Honourable Angus Taylor MP
Minister for Law Enforcement and Cyber Security, Federal Member for Hume
Angus entered politics in 2013 when he was elected as the Liberal Federal Member for Hume in NSW.
Building on his background in economics, Angus was appointed to parliamentary committees on employment, trade and investment, and public accounts. He was also chair of the Joint Standing Committee on Treaties.
Angus was promoted to Assistant Minister to the Prime Minister with special responsibility for Cities and Digital Transformation in February 2016. He was reappointed to the frontbench after the 2016 Federal election.
Angus’ portfolios stretch across the whole of government to improve city liveability and tackle long standing issues of traffic congestion, housing affordability and the need to create jobs closer to where people live. He has a focus on regional cities and outer suburban cities.
With a passion for cutting edge technology and the benefits for citizens of the digital age, Angus authored an essay The Promise of Digital Government which was published by the Menzies Research Centre in 2016.
He has gained a reputation amongst his constituents as a keen problem solver, focusing in his electorate on growth opportunities for regional communities and improving telecommunications.
Prior to entering parliament in 2013 Angus was a Director at Port Jackson Partners where he was a strategy and business advisor on the resources, agriculture, energy and infrastructure sectors. Prior to this he was a partner at global consulting firm McKinsey & Co.
Angus has a Bachelor of Economics (First Class Honours and University Medal) and a Bachelor of Laws (Honours) from the University of Sydney. He also has a Master of Philosophy in Economics from Oxford, where he studied as a Rhodes Scholar. His thesis was in the field of competition policy.
In his private capacity Angus has founded or advised a number of small, fast growing start-up businesses, particularly in the agriculture sector.
He lives at Goulburn with his wife Louise and their four children.
