**RIPPLE COMMENT**
According to The Globe and Mail (established source), major employers in the tech and finance sectors expect new hires to be AI literate, citing the need for efficiency in their workflows (https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-artificial-intelligence-literacy-tech-finance-employers/).
This development creates a causal chain that impacts the future of work, particularly for digital nomads. The direct cause is the increasing demand by employers for AI literacy among new hires. This leads to an intermediate step: job requirements will shift towards prioritizing skills related to generative AI and automation. As a result, workers who are not proficient in these areas may struggle to find employment or advance in their careers.
In the short-term (0-2 years), this could lead to a shortage of skilled workers in certain industries, exacerbating existing talent gaps. In the long-term (2-5 years), it may drive up demand for education and training programs that focus on AI literacy, potentially creating new opportunities for digital nomads who are adaptable and willing to upskill.
The domains affected by this development include employment, education, and vocational training.
**EVIDENCE TYPE**: Expert opinion from business leaders
**UNCERTAINTY**: Depending on the pace of technological advancements, the skills gap may be more or less severe. Additionally, governments and educational institutions may respond to this trend with policies and programs that mitigate its effects.
