AI and the Future of Talent Collaborative
Developing solutions to build a resilient, AI-ready workforce
More than a third of workers will be impacted by AI in their jobs, with an estimated 50 percent of tasks being augmented by AI technology. However, the impacts won’t be distributed evenly nor will they occur at the same pace. Certain sectors will experience higher disruptions, while occupations across sectors, demographics, and educational attainment levels will face varying degrees of AI exposure and skill demands. Business and higher education must develop a clear understanding of what those implications are and action plans for how to address them.
Leveraging the expertise of our business and higher education members, this initiative focuses on three key areas:
- Define the Disruption: Use data-driven strategies to identify and understand AI’s sector-specific impacts across the U.S. economy, from finance and defense to energy and manufacturing.
- Translate the Impacts: Translate sector data into actionable insights regarding how AI affects learners and workers and provide insights and tools to ensure training and credential pathways align with evolving workforce needs.
- Lead the AI Skills Revolution: Establish one of the first national AI skills frameworks to accelerate large-scale changes in corporate learning and development and higher education.
