Description

Remember when ChatGPT hit the market? It took the record for the fastest growing user base on record in January 2023 when it hit 100 million users. When the next killer AI comes, we’ll likely see the same again, in a shorter timeframe, and again, when another app comes. How quickly your business can understand and adapt to a new technology is going to be table stakes for your competitiveness, innovation and growth.

But it isn’t just about being the fastest in the AI race. It’s about being the most aligned and intentional, too. That’s where skills mastery comes in. You can’t upskill people in basic AI literacy and hope that’s enough for them to understand what to invest in and what’s hype. Over 80% of AI investments fail, primarily because of a lack of understanding of what AI can achieve for a business.

As you embark on your AI training initiatives in 2025, focus on mastery over mainstream.

1. Align AI training to each individual’s role, exposure to AI and decision-making status.

2. Don’t allow people to build, invest or influence AI technology without validating their AI skill level.

3. Invest in continuous training that can adapt to new AI technologies as they emerge.
