"Artificial intelligence is doing more than just automating workflows in 2025: It's dismantling the very idea of education. Once seen as one-time achievements, a bachelor's degree, a professional certificate, or an annual corporate training session, are no longer guarantees of relevance in a world where knowledge ages almost as quickly as technology itself. Nearly half of talent development leaders surveyed in LinkedIn's 2025 Workplace Learning Report say they see a skills crisis, with organizations under pressure to equip employees for both present and future roles through dynamic skill-building, particularly in AI and generative AI."
"Likewise, the AI in education market that includes K-12, higher education and corporate training is projected to grow to between $32.27 billion by 2030 and $127.2 billion by 2035, driven by a surge in demand for personalized learning in workforce-aligned corporate skills training and scalable edtech solutions. "We're seeing skills become obsolete in two to three years instead of decades. Demand on our platform shows professionals know learning can't stop at graduation in an AI-driven world," says Hugo Sarrazin, CEO of Udemy, one of the world's largest online learning platforms. He predicts that universities will increasingly serve as launchpads, awarding degrees alongside lifelong digital memberships. "Think of it like Netflix, but for education," he says."
Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping education, causing traditional degrees and one-time certifications to lose long-term value as knowledge and skills age faster. Talent leaders report a growing skills crisis, pressuring organizations to build dynamic, future-ready capabilities with emphasis on AI and generative AI. The AI-in-education market is projected to expand substantially between 2030 and 2035, driven by demand for personalized, workforce-aligned training and scalable edtech solutions. Online learning platforms report surging AI enrollments and strong interest in practical AI tools, while universities may shift toward degrees paired with lifelong digital learning memberships.
