🌻 The world of work is where the #green and #digital transitions could converge meaningfully. It is also where, without careful management, they could undermine one another, creating confusion and sowing the seeds of political discord among workers.

We will host Wayne Holmes, @ucl.ac.uk, an expert on how AI is reshaping the way we think, teach and learn.

March 27 at 14:30 CET @ IE Tower, Madrid & online. Registration: lnkd.in/diuvs2MB
