Thinking back to 1990, when the internet was still in its infancy, helps us understand the magnitude of upcoming change. Although the internet was invented then, it was not yet widespread. Over the subsequent decades, it revolutionized industries—tailoring HR processes (job applications mostly moved online), transforming marketing through social media, and spawning entirely new companies like Google, Facebook, and Uber.
In the context of AI, the change is happening at an even faster pace. What took a decade in the previous era might unfold within just three to five years. This compressed timeline amplifies the need for workers to develop new competencies and be ready to adapt swiftly.
