Employees Need to Brush Up on AI Skills, Says IBM Report
A new report from IBM reveals that the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation will impact approximately 1.4 billion people. As a result, around 40% of workers will require new job skills within the next three years. The report is based on two studies: one involving 3,000 C-level executives across 28 countries, and the other surveying 21,000 workers in 22 nations.
Key Points:
- Many employees fear that AI will replace them, while 87% of executives believe that job roles will be increased.
- The focus is shifting from STEM skills to people skills, such as communication and time management.
- Prioritization is now considered the most important skill for workers.
- Executives are rushing to automate, while employees believe the work they do is more important than who they work with.
- It is crucial to ask questions about the tasks that require a human touch and define responsibilities.
The report concludes that companies need to prioritize purposefully and make work more rewarding in order to succeed in the age of AI.
Hot Take:
The rise of AI and automation is bringing about significant changes in the job market. While many fear being replaced by AI, executives believe that AI will augment rather than replace employees. The key to success lies in developing new skills and prioritizing work that requires a human touch. Companies must adapt and create a work environment that is fulfilling and meaningful for their employees.
