In Dr. Toa Charm insight, the digital leaders are all relying on the big data that they got. He also explained that asset-light company, for example, Airbnb (which owns no real estate), can grow fast because they can monetize and make use of data much better than the company with the heavy asset.
▲Dr Toa Charm explained why asset-light businesses perform better the others.
Dr Toa Charm also discussed the importance of data literacy in the coming decades. He showed that 30% of jobs would be replaced by AI automation in 2030 by both PWC and World Economic Forum statistics, including professionals like accountant and engineer. However, new jobs will be created at the same moment to make use of data and make AI sustainable. Data literacy will be the most demanded skill in the age of AI.
▲According to PWC prediction, 30% of our current will be automated by AI by 2030.
