Redefining the Future of Work Pt. 2
A world where only a minority of the workforce is AI literate could increase inequality, reduce opportunity, and stifle innovation and productivity. An AI literate workforce would be more adaptable and resilient, continually generating value even as AI becomes progressively more sophisticated, capable, and widespread.
What’s more, collective AI literacy is crucial to shaping a future in which AI benefits all of humanity. A prosperous future of work, while it’ll be a central dimension of this future, won’t guarantee it
If leaders encourage overly risk-centric attitudes, they may actually cultivate conditions that disincentivize individuals from working toward a shared and economically prosperous future of work. Leaders need to encourage their workforce to “be curious and playful—just ask questions and see how it [AI] can respond—get comfortable exploring,” suggests Stephen Smith, Co-Founder and CEO at SimplyPut AI.
