"In today's workforce, access to technology is no longer the differentiator-human capability is. As AI transforms work in an era of compounding disruption and uncertainty, organizations will increasingly rely on employees who excel in qualities like resilience, empathy, and creativity. But the pace of change brought about by AI threatens to dull these capabilities, just when they are needed most."
"Brain capital is an economic asset as essential as physical or financial capital. It is built on two foundations. "Brain health" refers to a state of optimal brain functioning, supported by prevention and treatment of mental, neurological, and substance use conditions. "Brain skills" are the cognitive, interpersonal, self-leadership and technological literacy abilities that enable people to adapt, innovate, and lead. The two elements are interdependent; better brain health supports stronger brain skills, and vice versa."
AI is transforming work and makes human capability the primary differentiator; employees with resilience, empathy, creativity, and adaptability will be increasingly essential. Brain capital comprises brain health — optimal brain functioning supported by prevention and treatment of mental, neurological, and substance-use conditions — and brain skills — cognitive, interpersonal, self-leadership, and technological-literacy abilities. The two elements are interdependent, each reinforcing the other. Rising medical costs and growing brain-related disability strengthen the economic case for investment: addressing brain health through known interventions could generate up to $6.2 trillion in cumulative global GDP by 2050 and reclaim millions of years of healthier life.
