2. The future of #learning is #working: How to boost skill development in the #workplace

"We’re living through one of the most profound shifts in the nature of work and business in human history."

Euan Blair , the Founder and CEO of Multiverse , writes in an Agenda article . Blair details how conventional #education systems are falling short in preparing the workforce for the swiftly accelerating transformations in the world of work. He suggests three steps to close the gap:

3. How can we empower tomorrow’s #workforce with #AI

In today's landscape, AI has permeated nearly every industry. Realising the complete potential of AI necessitates a reconsideration of how we prepare future businesses and workforces. This process begins with adequately preparing the workforce.

"AI is now poised to be as transformational and revolutionary as the computer chip was in changing how we live and work forever."

Christy Pambianchi , Executive Vice-President and Chief People Officer at 英特尔 , writes in Agenda. Pambianchi notes four steps that Intel is taking to better prepare its workforce:

  • Test and learn
  • Collaborate across functions on AI use cases
  • Build critical thinking skills
  • Use AI responsibly

"The sooner we all can embrace the best parts of this new technology and thoughtfully build the right constraints to prevent harm, the greater and more positive AI’s impact will be on our world".

Insightful article, thanks. These trends may be already present yet we need a gentle reminder that we humans love talking about change but applying it may be challenging. Patience and kindness will have to play a key role towards this change.

Great insights. It would be interesting to get (from the WEF) guidance on skills that are relevant for developing countries as well.
