Advancements in AI are significantly altering the job market, resulting in many new roles while others are at risk of extinction. A LinkedIn report highlights that one in ten jobs hired last year were not in existence two decades ago. To adapt, entry-level workers must acquire AI skills, while white-collar employees need to embrace reskilling. The responsibility to aid this transition lies not only with workers but also with educational institutions and organizations, which must support employees in navigating career shifts.
"You protect the worker, you protect the talent; you don't protect the job itself," Peiying Chua stated, emphasizing the necessity of focusing on workforce adaptability in the face of AI disruption.
"AI is not going to take your job, the person next to you who is cleverer and is using AI is going to take your job," cautioned Madhu Kurup, highlighting the importance of reskilling and adaptability.
"It's really important that universities and organizations come in with that capacity to support employees as they transition through different kinds of roles," said Sun Sun Lim, stressing the role of education in workforce evolution.
"You're going to no longer have a career for life, but a lifetime of careers," explained Sun Sun Lim, reflecting the shifting landscape of employment in the age of AI.
