Frontiers Science House travels from Davos to Dalian to give scientists a seat at the table alongside global decision-makers. In this panel, four experts convened to discuss how technology is reshaping how we work, lead, and learn, and what this shift means for organizations and workers over the next decade. The session builds on the World Economic Forum's Top 10 Emerging Technologies of 2026 report, produced in collaboration with Frontiers, unpacking how rapid automation and AI are reshaping the skills companies need and the workforces they employ.
