View more ills needed to perform these human intelligence tasks, so the disadvantaged can work in the gig tech economy? The Business Process Outsourcing sector is unfortunately being rapidly replaced by emerging AI capabilities, putting at risk many vitally needed jobs for disadvantaged youth. The gaming sector appears to have many roles that could substitute this directly, plus provides the skills for future technology career paths. The gaming sector is very new, with virtual jobs in virtual companies for virtual currency – which points the way to many jobs of the future that will be created in other sectors.

There are also learnings and applications into the gamification of education, assessment and recruitment that will have a wider societal benefit. View less
