The Skills Your Employees Need to Work Effectively with AI.

The article discusses the skills that employees need to effectively work with artificial intelligence (AI). The authors conducted interviews with CEOs and found that there is a shift in focus towards developing individual human competencies. The two categories of skills identified as critical are effective interpersonal skills and domain expertise. While technical skills are important, it is the uniquely human skills that are in short supply. The article also provides a framework for implementing AI in organizations, emphasizing the importance of intentionality, integration, implementation, and indication. The authors argue that humans with enhanced skills should be "in the loop" with AI, as AI is copyable, subject to inaccuracies, and requires human critical thinking. [Extracted from the article]
