Topic of discussion

Session: Humans still wanted – the future of work in an AI driven world

An increasing number of CEOs are recognizing the potential of AI to drive internal productivity and operational efficiency. Though the AI market is relatively young, it is on a growth trajectory that promises a paradigm shift in business models and strategies. However, within this transformation, humans continue to play a critical role. As with any emerging technology, AI is a disruption that will, in many ways, uproot the market. But one thing remains the same: the difference between success and irrelevance is an organization’s ability to adapt to change. So, to better understand how leaders are preparing for the AI shift, Korn Ferry surveyed over 240 CEOs and senior executives, representing medium to large-sized companies from around the world. Through their answers, we now have a clear picture of AI’s impact on the future of work, as well as whether organizations are ready for the changes to come. More importantly, we were able to gain insights into how AI will impact human capital—will people still matter or be automated out of a job?
