The document discusses how companies should upskill their workforce to adapt to advances in artificial intelligence. It notes that AI will significantly impact job content rather than the total number of jobs. Companies need to reimagine, reskill, refresh, and redeploy workers. Key skills to focus on include advanced IT, programming, basic digital skills, social/emotional skills, entrepreneurship, creativity, critical thinking, and decision making. Companies should build a culture of continuous learning by listening, measuring impact, and role modeling lifelong learning. Getting ready for a future with both humans and robots requires preparing the workforce for new job roles and skills.
