Moderate to High

Reskilling Potential

The reskilling potential is moderate to high due to tasks like routine inspections, record-keeping, and compliance monitoring being highly automatable, while tasks requiring human expertise and collaboration are less automatable.

Moderate

Upskilling Potential

The upskilling potential is moderate with AI assisting in data analysis, root cause analysis, and tool usage, but human judgment and collaboration remain essential for many tasks.

How did we calculate these insights?

Guild trained Guild Transform to understand the jobs of the world, built through understanding the tasks that people complete in their work. With this context, Transform can then understand the impact of AI on those tasks, including:

The level of automation - will AI be able to handle this task on its own

The level of augmentation - will AI help a human do this task more efficiently

Transform reviews these insights and can quantify future skilling needs for roles. When a role will experience substantial automation, this is a great opportunity to reskill individuals in specific jobs into other occupations inside the company. When a role will experience substantial augmentation, it's critical for business leaders to offer AI upskilling opportunities so their employees can harness the power of this technology and apply it to their day-to-day responsibilities.
