How Upskilling Can Help Offset Job Losses from AI

Over the past year, there have been many discussion, blogs and conferences focused on the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) into the digital workforce. There have also been many commentators predicting the loss of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of jobs as AI gains ground. One of most favored solutions to this threat is retraining. Amazon's recent announcement, pledging to upskill its workforce, supports this trending solution. Amazon said it will invest over $700 million to retrain employees who may be automated out of a job.
