UPSKILLING AND RESKILLING IN THE AGE OF A.I. (HBR article - J. Tamayo, L. Doumi, S. Goel, O. Kovacs-Ondrejkovic, R.Sadun) I just read a brilliant article in HBR (Sept-Oct 2023 magazine), that focused primarily on reskilling but also upskilling, within the context of A.I. Essentially, the premise is that companies, private and public sector, will need to shift their organizational learning models, from upskilling employees to reskilling. The shift is necessitated by the accelerated pace of technological change. A.I. with its subsets of machine learning, deep learning and neural networks, are able to absorb not only major groups of repetitive and manual work-streams, but additionally grasp more sophisticated areas of 'knowledge-based' skills, like communications, coding and research. The OECD, (Organization for Economic Cooperation & Development), has said that the average half-life of skills is now less than five years. The societal impact on workers and the organizations that employ them, is massive in scope.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of education and workforce development, the term step change has become more than just a buzzword—it's a necessity. At YU Global, we're not just participating in this change; we're driving it through our innovative approach to knowledge production and our unique dialogical relationship with AI. This partnership is reshaping how we think about higher education's role in workforce development. The future of learning is here and it's more dynamic, more responsive, and more effective than ever before. Be part of this revolution with us.

Welcome to the 4th industrial revolution. 👇 General Assembly, leading education provider of The Adecco Group, is addressing the challenges and opportunities posed by the fourth industrial revolution. Nearly half of global organizations are incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into their operations, revolutionizing various aspects of business. General Assembly is optimistic about the future of AI and emphasizes the importance of human-AI connections for long-term success. To equip individuals and businesses with essential skills, General Assembly is introducing new Generative AI course modules. These modules focus on understanding and using Generative AI ethically, alongside specific lessons tailored for disciplines like Software Engineering, Data Analytics, Data Science, and UX Design. The goal is to empower learners to leverage AI tools effectively in a professional context. Despite concerns about AI replacing jobs, General Assembly believes that AI will transform and create new roles, emphasizing the need for upskilling to remain competitive in the job market. The Generative AI modules will be available in General Assembly's courses by mid-September, aiming to prepare students for a tech-first, AI-powered future. 🌟 Let's amplify our collective knowledge: Like 👍, repost 🔁, comment 💬 and follow Alain BRUN for more CIO & leadership insights! https://lnkd.in/dzmdNB5e #AI #Revolution #FutureOfWork #GenerativeAI #DigitalTransformation #TechSkills #JobMarket #Innovation #TechEducation #HumanAIConnection #CareerTransformation #CIO #DSI

Interesting article about the impact of AI on learning and development and what we need to be thinking about both in terms of the actual skills people need to work with AI (important because of the risk not that AI takes people's roles but that people who know how to work with AI take roles) as well as the impact of AI on how people learn (design, development and delivery of learning). https://lnkd.in/eR6CVNBe
