• Measuring US workers’ capacity to adapt to AI-driven job displacement - Sam Manning, Tomás Aguirre, Mark Muro, and Shriya Methkupally; Brookings
  Existing measures of AI “exposure” overlook workers’ adaptive capacity—i.e., their varied ability to navigate job displacement. Accounting for these factors, around 70% of highly AI-exposed workers (26.5 million out of 37.1 million) are employed in jobs with a high average capacity to manage job transitions if necessary. At the same time, 6.1 million workers, primarily […]

• Online Learning Works Best When Markets Lead, Not Governments. Project Kitty Hawk Shows Why. - Jenna Robinson, the Fulcrum
  North Carolina’s Project Kitty Hawk is a grand experiment. Can a government entity build an online program-management system that competes with private providers? With $97 million in taxpayer funding, the initiative seemed promising. But, despite good intentions, the project has been beset by difficulties and has been slow to grow. A state-chartered, university-affiliated online program […]

This issue’s […]

• Here’s the Best Way to Onboard a Manager - Henning and Angie Basiouny, Knowledge at Wharton
  Piezunka said the study draws attention to the importance of organizational design. When operations are scaling, they need to consider the personal relationships, behaviors, boundaries, and norms — not just workflows and responsibilities. Businesses with tightly knit teams can avoid the “intruder trap” through selective involvement of new hires. It’s a gentler way of welcoming […]
