The risk of job displacement due to AI can be mitigated through comprehensive upskilling and reskilling initiatives that equip employees for roles less susceptible to automation. By learning to leverage AI, employees can enhance their productivity and utilize automation to their advantage. Asteri’s AI-driven skills classification, extraction, and inference play a crucial role in this context by accurately identifying current skill gaps and forecasting future skill demands. This allows for targeted training initiatives that align with the evolving job market, helping workers adapt to technological changes and remain competitive in the workforce.
What role does continuous skill assessment play in Asteri’s strategy, and how does it differ from traditional annual reviews and manual assessments?
In what ways does Asteri’s platform provide AI-driven insights into workforce skills to help companies adapt to rapidly changing market demands?
By leveraging advanced technology, Asteri provides real-time, unbiased assessments of skill quality, promoting equitable career growth and skill development based on genuine abilities. This approach eliminates biases inherent in traditional methods, ensuring that employees are evaluated fairly based on their actual work and skills. As a result, employees can see where they need to improve for any position they are interested in, fostering transparency and fairness in career progression.
What sectors do you see as the most promising for AI-driven job growth, and how can Asteri help workers transition into these areas?
Ethical concerns related to AI deployment in the workplace include bias in skill assessment, data quality issues, and the potential for unfair career growth opportunities. Traditional skill assessment methods like assessment centers, surveys, and manual inputs are resource-intensive and often yield incomplete or outdated data, making it difficult for organizations to manage their workforce’s skills effectively.
Continuous skill assessment is crucial as it offers a dynamic view of an employee’s skill development over time. Asteri enhances this process by making it more convenient and timely. As new reviews and assessments are completed, they are instantly integrated into the platform, updating the employee’s skills accordingly. Additionally, work documents, L&D completions, project outcomes, and other relevant documents are ingested into the system, contributing to a comprehensive and accurate picture of an employee’s skill proficiency and quality.
