GenAI Conquers The Workplace With AI Skill Worth More Than Experience
GenAI has already disrupted the workplace.
Microsoft and LinkedIn’s Work Trend Index Survey paints a bleak picture for older workers as AI use booms and hiring favors those with AI skills.
AI is truly booming, with genAI use doubling in the past six months, with nearly 75% of knowledge workers using it.
GenAI’s growth is astounding, and it isn’t because it is just a fad. AI is genuinely helping people cope with workloads and improve their lives.
That said, GenAI’s benefits will not be shared equally by all.
Where will older workers go when 71% responded that they’d rather hire a less experienced candidate with AI skills than a more experienced candidate without them!
Who will say that GenAI hasn’t already disrupted labor markets when “experience” is now secondary?
