Framing this mainly as an AI skills gap risks flattening a deeper shift. Beyond tool proficiency, the real challenge is cultivating cognitive adaptability and designing socio‑technical systems where human intuition and AI capabilities co‑evolve—organically, not mechanically.
Two signals that struck me
• Burnout cuts training confidence from 83 % to 55 %—a cognitive‑load issue, not a content one.
• Only 16 % receive enterprise‑wide training—systemic transformation stays fragmented.
What seems crucial to focus on:
• Psychological safety as the invisible enabler—experimentation must feel safe, not heroic.
• Monthly learning sprints—protected, measurable, tied to real workflows.
• Peer‑led AI‑champ circles—surface tacit knowledge across silos.
Closing the gap means pairing skills with capacity, culture and purpose. That’s how we turn AI efficiency into sustainable, human‑centered progress—and break the burnout loop before it starts.
