The future of employability could soon be connected to the ability to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) effectively, with experts in the UAE emphasizing its long-term presence. According to Muhammad Khalid, Founder and CEO of AIREV, about 40 percent of global employment is exposed to AI, with advanced economies seeing a higher percentage at 60 percent. The gains in productivity and optimization from AI have the potential to lead to higher growth and incomes for workers. The Dubai Universal Blueprint for Artificial Intelligence, launched recently, aims to harness the potential of technology through various initiatives such as appointing a Chief AI Officer in every government entity and launching AI and Web3 incubators.

Organizations and individuals will need to adapt to the changes brought about by AI, with technology becoming a key enabler for boosting productivity and economic growth. Vasudha Khandeparkar, Analytics and AI Director at Grant Thornton, highlighted the importance of integrating technology effectively to set firms apart. Job roles are expected to evolve, with technology playing a more significant role in enhancing productivity. The impact of AI will be felt across various industries, with the IMF predicting that almost 40 percent of jobs will be affected by AI, leading to substantial changes in the labor market.

Despite the potential disruption caused by AI, it also brings a range of job opportunities within the sector, from developers to data scientists. Abdallah Abu Sheikh, Founder and CEO of Astra Tech and Botim, mentioned the progress in jobs as technology advances, such as AI-driven chatbots and autonomous vehicles in transportation. He emphasized the importance of embracing a shift in mindset to leverage AI for one’s benefit, rather than viewing it as a threat to job security. As AI continues to reshape industries, it is essential for individuals to adapt and acquire the necessary skills to thrive in a technology-driven environment.

The impact of AI is not limited to the job market but also extends to the education sector, where traditional teaching methods may need to be recalibrated. Mohammed highlighted the importance of asking the right questions rather than just finding answers, signaling a shift towards critical reasoning and thought. Vasudha pointed out that while AI can bring about significant changes, the ability to use knowledge effectively in problem-solving remains a crucial skill. She also highlighted the opportunity for personalized learning with AI, allowing students to have tailored education pathways that suit their individual pace and style.

In conclusion, the increasing presence of AI in various sectors is reshaping the future of work and education. Embracing AI as a tool for augmentation rather than a threat is crucial for individuals to succeed in a technology-driven world. The initiatives undertaken in the UAE, such as the Dubai Universal Blueprint for Artificial Intelligence, signify a commitment to leveraging technology for growth and innovation. As job roles evolve and educational practices adapt to the changing landscape, it is essential for individuals to upskill and stay abreast of the latest developments in AI to remain competitive in the workforce.
