Trinity Business School (TBS) is leading a new EU-funded project, TechConnect, aimed at redefining the relationship between humans and technology. The €3 million initiative brings together a consortium of nine organizations from four countries to explore how digital technologies can complement human skills and drive innovation.
The TechConnect project will focus on developing a new Human-Tech Skill Complementarity (HTSC) Index, which will measure the interaction between human skills and digital tools across various industries. By understanding this dynamic, the project aims to identify strategies for maximizing the benefits of technology while minimizing potential risks.
Prof. Na Fu, who leads the TechConnect project, emphasized the importance of addressing the question of how technology will impact the future of work. “As digital transformation accelerates, it’s crucial to explore how AI and automation can complement human skills, rather than replace them,” Fu said.
The consortium will conduct research, develop innovative tools, and collaborate with industry partners to ensure that the findings of the project are translated into practical applications. By fostering a deeper understanding of the relationship between humans and technology, TechConnect aims to contribute to a more sustainable and inclusive digital future.
