Women & AI HU #12 - Rise of the Purple Collar Worker?The new Human / AI Hybrid Workforce

​Rise of the Purple Collar Worker? The new Human / AI Hybrid Workforce - with Dr. Laszlo Lovaszy, author of On the Renewal of Humanism

Women&AI x IBM session (hosted at IBM offices)
Registration open till 16th Nov

Our guest is Dr. László Gábor Lovászy, author of the newly published monograph On the Renewal of Humanism – Enhanced Humans and Humanoid Robots in a Super-Aging Society (Gondolat, 2026) - he analyses what the 21st century brings when biotech, bionics and AI rewrite work, learning and ageing at the same time.

​He’ll open with a presentation, followed by my reflections and a discussion.

​✨ From 20-something disabled veterans to 100-year-old active workers: how AI-driven bionics and assistive tech are transforming rehabilitation and the very idea of retirement
✨ The rise of the “Purple-Collar” polymath: professionals who combine manual dexterity with ethics, philosophy and critical thinking, so they can direct and co-create with cobots, humanoids and autonomous AI systems, not just operate them
✨ Why higher education is in crisis: degree inflation, “digital Taylorism” automating mid-tier cognitive work, and the case for flexible “multiversities” instead of four-year degree mills

​✨ Then I’ll pick up the second thread and show why the purple-collar worker isn’t a forecast - it’s already here. The book resonated so strongly with my own experience building Human / AI Hybrid Workforce solutions that I wrote a review of it, just published by www.munkaugyiszemle.hu.

This promises to be a fascinating conversation - don’t miss it!

​Bring your questions, and a friend who hasn’t joined us yet. 🙌
