Is AI the Future of Career Development?

I couldn’t agree more. Using technology to make operations automated will be preferred and humans can focus on tasks that they are more capable of doing than a computer. The adoption of AI was carefully aligned to the organisation goal and objective to address challenges currenty faced within the organisation such as career development. Goes to show that there are ways to implement so that you get ROI quicker than a larger scale project. Learning from the adoption strategy of early adopters like Sanofi, IBM and HCM solutions you see they had a specific goal to improve skills alignment and talent enrichment of their current employees. Other organisations are opting for chatbots to alleviate the pressure on call centre staff. So, will require a well planned and monitored approach to realise value of each employee and improve the bottom line of the organisation.

Brilliant data! 68% preferring to talk to robot over their managers. 83%?of people who want to advance their career facing major obstacles in their path forward. 82%?of employees believe AI can support their career development better than humans. What implication does this have on human working relationship? What is happening to things that facilitate our wellbeing and keep us in the job such as - support, trust, encouragement, connection, cooperation, values ................. which is what distinguishes us as humans? Also, what implication would this have in family? Rethinking human relationships and leadership!

In a topic like this, I think everybody should be so careful before jumping into supporting something that requires big data without critical thinking. You all know that big data has been and is being stolen by the private companies, such as google and so on. Have you ever seen a private company is doing anything purely for the good of the people or even a single soul other than themselves and multi trillion dollars worth of profit paths? I have no doubth that as it had been done in the past, in future too, they will do everything in their power to manupulate the masses for their own benefit including using AI, deep learning etc . Yes, AI is very powerful and it can and should be used to benefit humanity, not only in science but in our social lives as well, but not by the private companies. So just be careful..

Hello Dan Schawbel. Thank you so much for the hard work you and your team are doing to bring such relevant data and facts, again and again, to your subscribers. I fully resonate with the findings AND find it heartbreaking that 68% of people would prefer to talk to a robot about their well-being over their boss. This shows me the level of failure managers and organizations embody in developing emotional intelligence (still perceived as a fad or soft skill in many companies). I would be so curious about the data from my part of the world, Central and Eastern Europe. Here we have another layer: psychological safety has been deeply wounded during the Communist regimes and people simply don't trust authority (see the issue around vaccinations and Eastern Europe lagging behind even though we were among the first to have access to vaccines for free). Perhaps we will have a chance to talk at a certain point in the future and partner to map the data in this region as well, which I find fascinating and mostly overlooked because of its fragmentation and relatively small size. Thanks once again, keep on doing the amazing work.
