Position Statement:
I speak with a lot of young people looking to start a career in their fields of study, with seasoned professionals who have found deep passion for their work, and with professional vagabonds who are still seeking that one thing that sparks their intellectual curiosity. Many are unsure of how to prepare for the huge changes in store for information workers. I would like to support ISSIP in this important role because of the fear, uncertainty, and doubt that I see in industry when we talk about about Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Blockchain, and Quantum Computing – and what the workforce will look like in 5, 10, and 20 years.
Under my leadership, ISSIP will continue to be supported in its current endeavors – but with a focus on assessing what being a service innovation professional means in an automated future. We will become evangelists for the skills our workforce will need to be relevant during our technological evolution toward automation.
In the special way only children can, a few expressed what I believe so clearly during a CS Education week event that I wanted to share their thoughts with you:
Construction worker, Surgeon, Clothing Designer or Programmer: these kids see the future so clearly! We can help service organizations and service workers recognize that computers and the machine intelligence that make technology accessible to everyone enhances every type of profession – helping expand reach to new outlets and sharing each person’s creativity more widely.
My specific goals for ISSIP is to evolve our 5 goals and the many efforts of our SIGs to focus on that future vision:
- Professional development: Support publication(s) that focus on the continuing human role in defining human-services for our automated future.
- Partner with education providers that deliver future-oriented training. Particularly those offering low-cost or free skills development in information protection and artificial intelligence.
- Use our partnerships to solicit for and support creation of data sets designed for research and educational machine learning use cases – a major barrier for entry for new learners.
- Work with standards organizations (ITU, IEEE, ISO, others) to establish standards that explain new technology use cases in ways that help drive educational programs and workforce development activities.
- Lobby policy experts to consider that human safety, security, and human-in-the-loop decisioning should be codified into governing law for these technologies.
