Ed's note: In the age of AI, are we forgetting the humans? Smart Energy International

IBM released a report in September about which I have such mixed feelings. On the one hand, I feel excited about the possibilities, and on the other, I am alarmed and trying to understand the implications. But let's take a step back... According to IBM, up to 120 million workers across 12 of the largest economies in the world will need to be retrained or deskilled due to the integration of AI or intelligent automation. This statistic in itself is somewhat alarming, but it is compounded by the fact that only 41% of the CEOs surveyed by IBM says they have the people, skills or resources in place in order to execute their business strategies.
