AI is no longer limited to technical teams. Today, professionals across functions, whether in finance, healthcare, or supply chain, can use powerful AI tools without needing deep coding expertise. They can automate workflows, generate insights, and improve how their organisations operate simply by understanding what AI can do and how to use it effectively.”</p><p>Right now, the focus should narrow to maximising the value AI brings.

No employee, regardless of background or current skill level, should feel detached from these technologies. Instead, learning should be charted so everyone becomes capable of building their own growth path, Pradhan said. They can leverage the power of AI to diagnose employee function, goals, and skill gaps to curate personalised learning journeys. It enables businesses to seamlessly embed learning into the flow of work, continuously adapting based on progress to keep it practical, nimble and relevant to specific roles and business outcomes.
