Advancing Human-AI Collaboration Accenture

As companies rapidly adopt Artificial Intelligence (AI) and related technologies, some job roles will be done exclusively by humans while others will be taken on by intelligent automation. But most emerging roles will be fulfilled by people and machines working together in the dynamic space Accenture calls "the missing middle." These roles will require people to apply higher level human skills. Our analysis of how skills have evolved in the 12 years to 2016 shows that more than half of jobs in the U.S. need more high-level creativity, 47 percent require more complex reasoning and 36 percent need more socio-emotional skills.
