72% of CHROs foresee AI-driven job changes within 3 years
WASHINGTON D.C., UNITED STATES — A substantial 72% of Chief Human Resources Officers (CHROs) from Fortune 500 companies expect artificial intelligence (AI) to reshape roles within their organizations over the next three years.
Further, 65% of these leaders are confident that AI can positively impact the efficiency of various roles.
In a survey released by consulting firm Gallup, most CHROs revealed that they view AI as a means to heighten organizational efficiency, streamline operations, and empower employees to focus more on strategic initiatives.
However, the U.S. workforce remains severely unprepared for the looming AI era. Only 10% actively engage with AI every week, and 70% have never interacted with it.
Additionally, 53% of employees feel ill-equipped to integrate AI and other advanced technologies.
Gallup said leaders should proactively offer relevant training and robust support to ensure a smooth transition to an AI-centric business model. Effective communication between leadership and staff is essential to align perceptions and expectations.
Moreover, as AI could potentially render certain roles obsolete, strategic efforts in reskilling and upskilling will be crucial in averting employee resentment and safeguarding organizational reputation.
