2023 edX AI Survey on Workforce Transformation

This report presents the findings of the 2023 edX AI Survey, which investigates the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the workplace. Conducted in partnership with Workplace Intelligence, the survey includes responses from 800 non-executive knowledge workers and 800 C-Suite executives. The report outlines key findings, highlighting that AI is rapidly reshaping job roles and skill requirements across organizations. Executives estimate that nearly half of current workforce skills will become irrelevant by 2025, and many express concerns about their organizations' readiness for these changes. The survey reveals a disconnect between executives and employees regarding the perceived impact of AI, with executives anticipating significant transformations in job roles, particularly for entry-level positions. The report emphasizes the necessity for organizations to prioritize upskilling their workforce in AI competencies to maintain competitiveness in the evolving job market. It also notes that while employees are eager to learn AI skills, workplace learning programs are not keeping pace with the demand.
