Will AI Upset Our Notions of How Much "Upskilling" Will be Needed by 2030?

It is hard to disagree with this McKinsey analysis of how skill requirements might change in the United States and Europe between 2016 and 2030. On the other hand, it also is possible to argue that we simply do not know yet how much artificial intelligence will reduce requirements for cognitive skills or technology skills.


In principle, AI should reduce the need for humans to acquire many cognitive or technology skills, as AI will automate so much of what we now believe will be required that perhaps there will be less “upskilling” need than the analysts expect.
