IBM Research: 40% of workforce needs reskilling The impact of implementing artificial intelligence

TIME.CO, Jakarta – Relationship study IBM The Institute for Business Value recently revealed that executives globally estimate that 40% of their workforce will need reskilling as a result of adopting AI (TO THE) and automation over the next three years. This means that, according to the World Bank, approximately 1.4 billion people out of the 3.4 billion global workforce will need to be retrained in the near future.

The study “Augmented Work for an Automated and AI-Driven World” shows that there is a gap between companies and employees when it comes to workplace priorities. Now there is artificial intelligence ready to perform more manual and repetitive tasks.

Employees surveyed indicated that engaging in more impactful work was the top factor they cared about beyond pay and security, more important than flexible work arrangements, growth opportunities and equality.

However, economic operators are not yet aware of this fact. Executives surveyed ranked high-impact work as the least important factor in their workforce, and instead cited flexible work arrangements as the most important outside of pay and security.

“Even as artificial intelligence continues to be implemented in almost all business processes, human labor remains the key competitive advantage for companies,” said Andrian Purnama, managing partner of IBM Indonesia.

He said it is very important for executives to be able to guide and direct their workforce through this change and enable them to succeed and continue to thrive in the new era of generative artificial intelligence.

“Closing this gap is critical to ensuring that the workforce focuses their energy and time on more creative and impactful work for the business, while artificial intelligence and automation are leveraged to carry out repetitive and which take longer,” he added.

Meanwhile, for the executives interviewed, developing new skills for existing employees is the most important issue in talent management. Executives surveyed said technology is the second most important talent issue, but only 21% of employees believe a lack of technical skills within their teams is a top daily challenge.

The study also provides recommendations on how leaders can take action to address talent challenges in the age of AI and help their organizations transform for the future by focusing on skills and operating models.
