AICOMP Research Report 1

Future Skills

The AIComp study was designed to develop a deeper understanding of future skills, which are essential for shaping a living and working environment that is influenced by artificial intelligence (AI) and will be even more strongly determined in the future. The statistical analyses of the major AI study are published in this first research report. A second research report refers to the detailed derivation and construction of the AIComp competency model and is available here: www.ai-comp.org. As part of the study, more than 1,600 working adults in Germany were surveyed with a focus on the Baden-Württemberg region. The influence of AI on the living and working environments of the respondents was described by them as significant and multifaceted. In order to do justice to this diversity, a perspective was chosen in the study that looks at the required skills from the point of view of the individuals themselves. This subject-scientific perspective forms the basis for the development of the comprehensive model of future skills. The study presents the basic requirements for the assessment of these skills and examines the usage behavior of respondents in the context of AI. It offers a comprehensive insight into opinions on AI and sheds light on the spectrum of skills required in the future and those already available, as well as the gap between them.
