==The skills that will matter more are those that help people work with AI, adapt across changing jobs, and contribute distinctly human judgment .== Foundational skills: literacy, numeracy, reasoning, basic digital skills, and teamwork will remain essential because they make it easier to learn new technologies and adapt as jobs change.[:cite[1]{ln=1}] [:cite[1]{ln=2}] AI user skills: workers will increasingly benefit from knowing how to integrate tools such as ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, and DALL·E into their workflows.[:cite[2]{ln=1}] AI developer skills: more advanced technical capabilities—such as building, deploying, and maintaining AI systems, including machine learning programming—will matter for people creating AI applications.[:cite[2]{ln=1}] [:cite[3]{ln=2}] Analytical and nonroutine cognitive skills: workers who can handle complex, analytical tasks may be better positioned as AI changes routine work; the report identifies skill gaps in these areas among workers in lower income countries.[:cite[4]{ln=1}] [:cite[4]{ln=3}] Transferable skills: capabilities that can be used across several occupations will be especially valuable. The report finds that workers who learn transferable skills earn more than those trained only for occupations highly exposed to AI.[:cite[5]{ln=1}] [:cite[5]{ln=2}] Learning and adaptability: reskilling should focus on people’s capacity to learn and adapt as conditions change, rather than narrowly preparing them for one specialization.[:cite[5]{ln=2}] [:cite[5]{ln=3}] Managerial and organizational skills: for firms, structured management practices and the ability to organize work effectively help determine whether AI actually produces productivity gains.[:cite[6]{ln=1}] [:cite[6]{ln=3}] Deep human expertise and independent thinking: people still need to develop advanced cognitive skills through sustained engagement. Excessive reliance on AI could weaken learning, productivity, and innovation if AI replaces rather than supports those processes.[:cite[7]{ln=2}] [:cite[7]{ln=3}] [:cite[8]{ln=1}] ==In short: learn the basics well, become AI literate, strengthen analytical and transferable abilities, and preserve the human capacity for judgment, creativity, and deep learning.== [:cite[1]{ln=1}] [:cite[2]{ln=1}] [:cite[5]{ln=2}] [:cite[9]{ln=1}]
