According to Manpower, in the era of technology present in all areas of life, workers need to have a strategy to improve their skills and ensure a solid career. Even, instead of being a competitor, AI will become an effective support tool for humans - the key to building a solid and sustainable career in the future.
The survey by Manpower shows an interesting picture of the current level of AI application: 53% of employers have been using AI in the recruitment, acceptance and training stages of new employees; 85% of businesses consider it completely normal for candidates to use AI in the application process; only 10% of IT directors (CIOs) and senior technology leaders said that AI has been comprehensively integrated in their organizations.
This shows that although AI is being widely applied and seems popular at the outstanding level, it is still largely limited to the basic application level. This is also an opportunity for those who know how to take advantage of AI as a "team" to free themselves from repetitive tasks, spend time on things that require profound thinking and creativity.
Manpower's research shows that about a third of employers still believe that there are key skills that only humans can handle well and AI is unlikely to replace such as ethical judgment (33%); personalized customer service (31%); team management (30%); communication (27%); strategic thinking (27)...
In addition, workers need to add 5 more strategic skills to avoid being swings in the AI whirlwind.
