3 in 4 Gen Zers Are Using AI to Learn New Skills — Here’s What That Means for the Future of Work
As the first generation to grow up fully immersed in technology, Gen Z is redefining how learning and work evolve in the age of artificial intelligence. According to the latest Chief People Officers Outlook by the World Economic Forum, three in four Gen Zers are already using AI tools to learn new skills, find jobs, and solve problems at work.
This shift reflects a powerful trend: AI is becoming the new co-pilot for career growth. From language models that enhance communication skills to creative tools that simplify design, Gen Z is leveraging AI not just to keep up—but to stay ahead.
Yet, this rapid transformation comes with mixed emotions. The same report highlights that nearly half of young adults feel anxious about AI’s impact on their future careers, a concern fueled by the decline in entry-level job opportunities and the evolving nature of work itself.
At the same time, organizations are rethinking their people strategies. With 42% of global HR leaders expecting little change in current labor market uncertainty over the next year, companies are focusing on three key priorities:
-
Redesigning job roles and organizational structures,
-
Strengthening company culture and purpose,
-
And adopting responsible, human-centered AI across the workforce.
At TalentsLink, we believe this moment represents opportunity, not fear. The integration of AI into learning and work can empower a new generation of professionals—helping them build skills faster, find meaningful employment, and adapt to change with confidence.
As AI reshapes industries and talent needs, our mission remains clear: to connect people, purpose, and technology for a more inclusive and future-ready job market.
