The Talent Implications of Generative AI

AI will change how work gets done and the talent mix necessary to make it happen.

• Artificial intelligence (AI) will change the software industry, particularly the engineering and sales and marketing functions.
• Nearly two-thirds of software engineers say that they expect productivity gains of 20% or more, and many are already deploying AI coding assistants.
• About 39% of software companies said that the biggest barrier is the lack of technical skills, so an early investment in upskilling talent could offer a competitive edge.
• AI will also help automate sales to smaller businesses and consumers, allowing for smarter self-service.
