BBC CAPITAL: How the youngest generation is defining work

Press/Media: Expert comment

Description

Sundararajan jokes that this was the generation that, when they were babies, were given a handheld, glowing smart device to distract them, instead of a shiny pair of keys. Cary Cooper, professor of organisational psychology at the University of Manchester, has a unique name for them: “screen animals.”

“They’re tech-orientated. They’ll be able to think about how AI can be helpful to them, rather than be frightened of it,” says Cooper.
