A new report from IBM has found that 1.4 billion workers around the world will need to acquire new skills in order to adapt to the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation. The report, which surveyed thousands of C-suite executives, found that 40% of workers believe that their jobs will be significantly changed by AI within the next three years.
The report also found that the most in-demand skills for workers in the age of AI will be critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. These skills are essential for workers to be able to adapt to new technologies and to work effectively with AI-powered tools.
The report's findings highlight the need for businesses and governments to invest in workforce development programs that can help workers acquire the skills they need to succeed in the AI economy.
