Whenever an exponential technology storms onto the scene, it creates inflection points - moments where humans recognize that they need to pivot and reconsider what they do, and how they do it. Humanity has pivoted at the advent of various technologies, from the printing press, to the Internet, and now AI.
As educators, it is up to us to use AI in two ways: First, we can teach how organizations and technologists around the world use AI. Second, we can use it as a teaching supplement. Join us at the EMEA Member and Partner Conference 2024 for The Impact of AI on Skills and Training session as we examine various ways instructors are using new disruptive technologies to transform their classrooms. We will report how educators are teaching the workforce to engage in useful AI-to-human dialogue, as well as how to become wise consumers of AI-provided services. Along the way, we will also discuss some of the early lessons organizations around the world are learning about practical AI implementation.

Setting realistic expectations of artificial intelligence in the classroom, and in the IT department
How AI can transform workflows and creating efficiencies, as long as it is placed in an environment where it can thrive
Challenges facing organizations as they implement
How technology is being adapted to help change education
Steps educators are taking to help students use AI efficiently
For AI to thrive, it must be placed into a proper business and technological environment. We must be realistic about how we implement AI. We also need to understand its qualities and shortcomings. Once we understand these elements, educators and organizations worldwide can avoid the hype that occurs when a promising technology storms onto a scene. It is up to us - workers and educators - to engage in a useful dialogue with AI to ensure progress.
As AI continues to be adopted, the value of AI-related and AI-adjacent skills will increase more than most currently expect. CompTIA research shows that employers believe AI skills are becoming critical, such as the use of AI to improve data analytics (cited by 44%) and the use of AI to improve cybersecurity capabilities (cited by 34%).1 Meeting this demand puts more focus on the importance of upskilling and continuous learning across all levels of experience, and across virtually every technical and even non-technical job role.
The adoption of AI also highlights the importance of key soft skills, including curiosity, adaptability and critical thinking. Workers also need skills to enable organizations to engage in transparency and explainability. As organizations use AI, they will need to adhere to policies, standards, and best practices. They will also need to explain why and how their organizations are behaving when it comes to all faces of User Experience (UX). New learners looking to enter the tech workforce will be expected to have these skills.
