Artificial intelligence (AI) is a disruptive transformation in the workplace. Leaders have a great opportunity to identify ways to leverage the existing skills of their people and use technology to support human strengths and teamwork in the workplace. It is important to be clear about the intention of bringing in AI and to support employees through the transition. Leaders can create a culture of support by helping employees build new skills, exploring different roles, and providing resources like internal skills programs and free online courses, or outplacement if that's conclusion. The human impact of AI should not be overlooked, and leaders can uplift capabilities by integrating AI effectively and supercharging humans skills.
