How Gen AI Could Change the Value of Expertise

Abstract

In the near future, gen AI is likely to affect some 50 million jobs, automating away elements of some jobs and augmenting workers’ abilities in others. The extent of those changes will compel companies to reshape their organizational structures and rethink their talent management strategies in profound ways, with implications that will affect not only for industries but also individuals and society. Critically, traditional learning curves for jobs will be redrawn, creating new paradigms for skill acquisition and career advancement. This shift demands a fundamental rethinking of how businesses approach talent management and how individuals navigate their careers.
