Al and the Future of Workforce Training via Center for Security & Emerging Technology

AI is emerging as a transformative force across industries, affecting up to 80% of U.S. workers, including knowledge workers.

Its impact depends on whether it complements or replaces human tasks, with occupations facing high exposure and low complementarity at greatest risk. The rapid obsolescence of technicalskills emphasizes the need for continuous retraining, focusing on both technical and nontechnical skills like problemsolving, critical thinking, and social skills.

Community colleges play a key role in workforce development, supported by federal funding and programs like apprenticeships and career technical education. Challenges include fragmented systems, insufficient funding, and scaling successful programs. AI can enhance training by enabling personalized, accessible learning but raises concerns about privacy, skill erosion, and inequality.

A comprehensive approach is needed, including strengthening community colleges, expanding career pathways, incorporating AIliteracy, and ensuring equitable access.
