Many people are worried about AI taking over their jobs. But the more pressing concern—particularly for leaders—is that these innovations will shift the skills people need to do their jobs effectively. According to the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development, as many as 1.1 billion jobs could be transformed by technology over the next decade. To prepare for these changes, executives must develop skill-building pathways to enable their people to develop the knowledge they’ll need to harness AI effectively. Here are a few steps to get started: ? Conduct an internal skills audit ? Prioritize education and training ? Develop internal talent pools ? Get strategic about AI use cases ?
