About the Report:

Last year’s survey explored how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping the world of work, from entry-level knowledge workers to CEOs. In our latest research, we assessed how views on this have shifted over the past year and investigated whether AI could support the growing call for more sustainable business practices.

edX and the research firm Workplace Intelligence surveyed 1,800 global knowledge workers and 600 U.S. C-suite executives to gain unique insight into how AI can be used to accelerate corporate sustainability efforts, including environmental, social, and economic. The findings revealed a notable gap between how executives view AI’s role in supporting sustainability and their organization’s current capacity to implement AI for that purpose.

For example, the survey uncovered that a remarkable 75% of C-suite feel their company won’t be able to achieve their sustainability goals without AI. However, 65% acknowledge  they “have no idea how” to operationalize AI to support sustainability.

Discover how mastering AI and sustainability skills today can position employees and executives to meet their sustainability and growth goals.

About this Resource:

AI is changing the skills we need to learn and how we learn, but not always in the way we expect! At edX we’re hearing that too much choice is overwhelming, with leaders more focused on quality than quantity when it comes to learning. Because of this, learners need and expect more direction. Finally, despite all the innovation, our research suggests that humans still want to learn from and with humans. 

Join us for an interesting discussion with the edX Director of Learning Strategy and Lecturer at University of Pennsylvania, and the CEO of HowNow as we make the case for longer-form directed learning in the world of short attention spans.
