Every customer and government leader I meet is asking, “How can we make AI a force for good for our people, and not a threat?” 92% of jobs are expected to undergo some level of transformation due to advancements in AI. The work begins with identifying and enabling the new skills and training needed for AI preparedness. That’s why I’m honored to share the insights from the AI-Enabled ICT Workforce Consortium's inaugural report, “The Transformational Opportunity of AI on ICT Jobs.” This report examines the impact of AI on 47 ICT job roles and offers tailored training recommendations. It's a unique guide to the skills needed for the AI future, with recommendations that couldn't be clearer, timelier, or more urgent. Here are some of the top takeaways: - 92% of ICT jobs will undergo high or moderate transformation due to AI. - 40% of mid-level and 37% of entry-level ICT positions will see high levels of transformation. - Skills like AI ethics, responsible AI, prompt engineering, and AI literacy will become crucial. - Foundational skills such as AI literacy and data analytics are essential across all ICT roles. Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/gWfPc8WT The risks associated with an under-skilled, unprepared workforce are global in scale, ranging from economic wage gaps to trade imbalances, technological stagnation, social and ethical issues, and national security threats. This creates a pressing need for a coordinated effort to reskill and upskill employees around the world. By investing in a long-term roadmap for an inclusive and skilled workforce, we can help all populations participate and thrive in the era of AI. Led by Cisco and joined by industry giants like Accenture, Eightfold, Google, IBM, Indeed, Intel Corporation, Microsoft, and SAP the Consortium will train and upskill 95 million people over the next 10 years through their individual organizations' commitments.
