AI for all – Equal opportunities for skills enhancement

To ensure a balanced labour market in which no one is left behind, everyone should have equal opportunities to learn about and apply the technology. Today, it differs greatly who actually uses AI and who feels equipped to use it. Significant differences exist with respect to gender, age, educational level and company size. Far too many employees do not have access to the tools or the knowledge to get started – or feel safe using them.

Therefore, we work for:

• Combining access to additional training in AI with an appreciation that learning is not only acquired through books. Employees are to a higher degree developing their skills when they get the opportunity to experiment with and test AI tools as part of their day-to-day tasks. Therefore, both time and space must be allocated during the work day for employees to learn by doing and enhance their skills as they carry out tasks.
• Equipping managers and delegates to navigate (use effectively, be critical, etc.) a workday in which AI is used as a work tool or management tool for assessment and recruitment of employees, for example.
• Providing everyone access to AI tools and the time to try them out and learn how to use them in practice.
