MAX RESOURCE LIBRARY: Lightcast Publishes Report on Developing the AI Skills Employers Actually Need

July 28, 2025

According to Lightcast, an AI job does not mean a tech job, AI skills mean higher salaries, and every career area is at a different stage on its AI adoption journey. Lightcast has recently released a report which discusses which jobs need AI training most urgently and the unique adoption patterns that distinguish one from another. The report includes insights on the most requested AI skills, training priorities and more. The report also introduces the AI Skills Disruption Matrix, which provides a review of how AI is being adopted into and integrating with every career area.

Says Lightcast: The global labor market stands on a precipice, right as artificial intelligence is making the jump from a niche technological innovation to a widespread function of everyday work. This raises difficult questions for those entrusted with preparing the workforce of tomorrow. How do we make sense of all the new information and disruption happening so quickly? And how can we craft a workforce strategy in response.
