rseroter · x · 2026-07-28
An article in the Harvard Business Review explores the hidden impact of AI on workforce development. As AI automates routine work, employees are losing the everyday experiences that once helped them develop judgment, pattern recognition, and leadership instincts.
The author notes that the repetition of spotting weak arguments in memos, interpreting ambiguous data, and anticipating stakeholder concerns built intuition. With this training ground stripped away, experienced professionals are strongly encouraged to step up as mentors to bridge the growing skills gap.
