Report
The first edition of the Global Talent Competitiveness Index (GTCI)
was published in November 2013, capitalizing on INSEAD’s successful
experience in developing two other major Global Indices on Innovation
(GII) and Global Information Technology (GITR). Given the vital importance
of talent for prosperity, the ambition of GTCI is to be an action tool for
continuous improvement in linking talent to economic development, and
an instrument to stimulate dialogue between governments, businesses,
academia, professionals and their associations, and citizens.
Addressing the theme of Global Talent in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, this
seventh edition of GTCI explores how the development of Artificial Intelligence
(AI) is not only changing the nature of work but also forcing a re-evaluation of
workplace practices, corporate structures and innovation ecosystems. As
machines and algorithms continue to affect a multiplicity of tasks and
responsibilities and almost every job gets reinvented, the right talent is
required not only to carry out new responsibilities and ways to work, but also
to capture value from this transformative technology. This topic stands at the
heart of the debate in this era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution as AI has
become a game-changer in every industry and sector. Current education and
skills acquisition will be transformed as well, implying that formal and
informal learning structures must evolve to meet the needs created
by this very same AI-driven world. Which companies, cities or
countries are best positioned to benefit from the AI revolution?
How can we guarantee that a joint effort be made to ensure
that AI-driven increased productivity benefits society
as a whole?
