Artificial Intelligence Panel skills
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is garnering an immense amount press lately, in large part because it is touching or will touch nearly every aspect of our lives.
It seems every day we’re told of a new way AI is being used to improve how we live, work, or play. It is against this backdrop that CompTIA, along with the House of Representatives’ AI Caucus, recently hosted a panel discussion on AI. We were joined by representatives from Intel Corporation, DellEMC, and the Einstein and Montefiore Medical Center.
The discussion was held before a packed room of Congressional staff and other stakeholders, and covered an array of topics such as AI’s enabling factors (data), who is using it (businesses and individual consumers), the hurdles to additional adoption (not enough data), and why we need it (to improve lives, workflows, and customer experiences, along with winning the global AI race).
During the discussion, the AI Caucus co-chairs, Representative Jerry McNerney (D-CA) and Representative Pete Olson (R-TX), asked what federal investments should be made in AI. Each panelist pointed to education, whether it is teaching workers to work alongside it in the workplace or upskilling workers to brace for the increased role AI will play in handling routine workplace tasks.
Our own research predicts that by 2024, there could be as many as 1.8 million unfilled technology jobs in the U.S. alone, many of which will be in emerging technologies like AI. What’s more, technology plays a critical role in advancing the U.S. economy. The technology industry employed more than 7.3 million workers in 2018, while there were an additional 7.8 million technology jobs in other industries like healthcare, finance, media, government, etc. Such stark numbers are a reminder that policymakers should be exploring avenues to arm the nation’s students and workers with the skillsets today’s economy requires.
