Future of Work: 3 steps you need to take to build an AI-savvy workforce

Are you ready to compete as intelligent technology meets human ingenuity to create the future workforce? Ryan Shanks from Accenture has some recommendations. A recent Accenture Strategy report, Reworking the Revolution: Are you ready to compete as intelligent technology meets human ingenuity to create the future workforce?, estimates that if businesses invest in artificial intelligence (AI) and human-machine collaboration at the same rate as top-performing companies, they could boost revenues by 38pc by 2022 and raise employment levels by 10pc. Collectively, this would lift profits by $4.8trn globally over the same period. For the average S&P 500 company, this equates to $7.5bn of revenues and a $880m lift to profitability.
