There is tremendous potential for the adoption of AI across a wide range of industries from entertainment to transportation. It is estimated that AI will create close to 2.3 million jobs by 2020.

AI acts as a supporting tool for humans to enhance their productivity and expertise.

Now, we take help of AI to identify the individual skills and accordingly suggest the right set of training courses to further enhance skills. Adaptive learning that is personalized to the individual will be a powerful way to engage the future and today's workforce.

Personalized performance record

AI will assist workers in crafting professions synchronized with their requirements. It can also offer feedback on the positive impact of the job and workspace. Many offices have integrated AI systems to keep track of employee progress and to caution them whenever their performance dips.

It is a great time for us to take advantage of the opportunities represented by the emerging trends and invest in skills and technologies that will rule the future.
