You hear 'AI role' and you may think... I've got to learn to how to use intricate burgeoning tech systems. But maybe not. In our new blog, we look at how artificial intelligence is impacting non-tech roles: https://lnkd.in/gyjwm-Ys

The ASU+GSV Summit is around the corner — and we’re taking the conversation poolside. We’ll be at Cabana 3P5 (Level 3) with drinks, giveaways, and a team ready to dive into data and strategy.

Our collaboration with Financial Times on reporting of #AI trends continues... Here we look at the divergence of salaries (note: we've previously reported a 28% pay premium for AI skills)... and there's an important nuance. That bump usually is given to more senior roles. Further supporting the idea that AI skills are really people / managerial skills. 8 of out 10 of them, at least. Read the full article in the FT: https://lnkd.in/g_NA9cfU

AI isn’t the only force reshaping the labour market right now—and treating it as such is a mistake. Yes, AI is changing how work gets done. But at the same time: • Populations are ageing • Talent shortages are intensifying • Geopolitical shifts are redrawing supply chains If we focus only on AI, we risk missing the bigger picture—and making the wrong decisions as a result.

What if the problem with entry-level jobs isn’t talent—but how we define “ready”? At this year’s ASU+GSV ASU+GSV Summit, our Raymond Sass will be moderating a panel that challenges that assumption: From Crisis to Capability: Reinventing Entry-Level Work 🗓 April 15 | 10:10–10:50 AM 📍 Coronado D, Level 4 This session brings together leaders who are rethinking how early-career talent develops—turning real work into the primary engine for learning, embedding skill-building into day-to-day roles, and creating stronger pathways into the workforce. If you’re attending ASU+GSV, we’d love to see you there. Get more details here: https://lnkd.in/gecNiQFq

Work is, generally speaking, serious business. But if we learned anything from nine seasons of The Office, it’s that there’s plenty of humor to be found in it as well. And what better day to hunt for the humor than April 1st? Take skills for example. At Lightcast, we’re serious about skills. But let’s be real: Sometimes skills can sound downright silly — especially when they relate to an industry or technology you’re not familiar with (yet!). https://lnkd.in/gTnVDJAQ
