The Global Future Council on Jobs and Frontier Technologies defines workforce-transforming technologies as recent technological advances with the potential to rapidly transform the workforce. Such advancements would provide productivity, or capability boosts to help address society’s key challenges, and have substantial or systemic risk that requires governance and/or compliance enhancements.
