Your boss probably expects you to learn AI on your own time (www.businessinsider.com)

Larry Gadea, CEO of Envoy, has announced a proactive approach to AI training within his company, emphasizing the importance of both employer and employee contributions to skill development. Gadea believes that while Envoy will invest in training programs, employees must also take initiative to learn about AI on their own time. This perspective highlights a growing debate in the workplace about who should bear the responsibility for upskilling in AI, as a recent survey revealed a disparity in expectations between CEOs and employees regarding training responsibilities. To foster a culture of experimentation and learning, Envoy hosts regular all-hands meetings where employees demonstrate AI tools they've developed, encouraging a collaborative environment. Gadea aims to mitigate "imposter syndrome" by reassuring staff that everyone is navigating this new technology together. The challenge remains for companies to keep training relevant in a rapidly evolving field, as outdated courses can hinder development. Experts suggest that continuous sharing of insights among employees, rather than relying solely on formal training, could be key to maintaining AI fluency and ensuring workers feel integrated into the solution rather than threatened by new technologies.
