AI智能体,新一代劳动力,我们还没有做好准备
智能体正在到来,智能体正在到来。
如果你关注AI技术市场,你就会知道,最近有很多关于“智能体AI”的讨论。换句话说,我们的AI助手开始拥有更多自主能力。不再只是回答问题和写诗,它们现在可以代表我们“做事情”。
这正是长久以来预测的AI下一个大趋势。埃里克·施密特最近谈到了这一点,微软也在讨论,像Mayfield这样的投资者正在投入资金。而这种演变确实将彻底革新我们的系统。
可以这样想:“大语言模型”是我们过去两年一直在学习的内容,它们现在正逐步转变为“大行动模型”。智能体不仅仅会回答问题,它还会为我们做事情。
消费场景是无穷无尽的:为我预订航班,为我买票,向我的朋友发送电子邮件。但在商业领域,这种转变将颠覆并破坏我们的许多企业系统。它还将改变我们工作的方式、管理的方式以及我们对团队的思考方式。
考虑我们与供应商讨论的两个HR用例。
学习与发展(L&D)AI智能体
想象一下,你指示一个L&D AI智能体“为我们的销售人员创建一个15分钟的课程,以教授他们如何定位我们的新产品”。AI智能体将根据你的输入(课程时长、目标受众等),向主题专家发送电子邮件,视频记录他们的评论和专业知识,整合新产品信息,构建课程,并将其发送给L&D负责人进行验证。作为经理,你可以审查课程,并指示智能体收紧信息或添加更多主题,课程将重新创建,然后你可以说“可以上线了”。智能体随后会将课程发布到学习管理系统(LMS)中,向所有销售人员群发电子邮件,并开始监控学习活动。几小时后,智能体会运行分析,并向经理反馈进展情况。
是的,这在今天完全可能。而且很快就会启动。
再来看第二个例子。
招聘AI智能体
人才招聘负责人收到了大量关于高级软件工程师的职位要求。她指示招聘AI智能体开始搜索。智能体询问招聘人员的地点偏好、职位级别选择、薪资范围和技能要求,然后开始工作。智能体扫描LinkedIn和其他招聘工具,查看ATS中的现有候选人,同时也查看所有内部员工的合格技能。智能体随后优化这份名单,创建一个“面试候选人短名单”,并回到招聘负责人那里征求意见。在就地点和薪资范围达成一致后,智能体返回并向这些候选人发送了一封富有吸引力的电子邮件,并附上一个视频面试门户链接,让他们进行面试。面试被录制下来,AI智能体使用面试智能工具来评估和筛选候选人,询问他们的时间安排,并为他们安排现场面试。在此过程中,AI智能体会查看他们的背景,搜索社交媒体,查看他们的各种联系,并可能查看他们的GitHub等平台和其他凭证,然后为每位候选人创建一个档案。
这些智能体很快就会出现,对我们许多人来说,它们看起来和感觉上会像“员工”一样。我们将不得不对它们进行培训、入职和指导。随着它们在各自的角色中“成熟”并成长,我们将它们连接到更多的系统、更多的人和更多的数据上。
Lattice的首席执行官萨拉·富兰克林大约一个月前实际上提出了这个概念,尽管遭到了反对声音,但我认为她是对的。这些智能体实际上将属于组织结构图的一部分。我们的工作将是管理它们,确保它们的安全,并监督它们的安全性。
还有更多内容即将到来
虽然感觉像科幻小说,但这一切正在发生。而且它不仅将改变我们的HR技术堆栈,还将改变整个企业技术格局,也让我们的HR角色变得更加轻松。

LEUVEN, Belgium, April 4, 2024 - Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) and a group of eight leading companies including Accenture, Eightfold, Google, IBM, Indeed, Intel, Microsoft and SAP as well as six advisors today announced the launch of the AI-Enabled Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Workforce Consortium focused on upskilling and reskilling roles most likely to be impacted by AI. The Consortium is catalyzed by the work of the U.S.-EU Trade and Technology Council's (TTC) Talent for Growth Task Force, with the goal of exploring AI's impact on ICT job roles, enabling workers to find and access relevant training programs, and connecting businesses to skilled and job-ready workers.
Working as a private sector collaborative, the Consortium is evaluating how AI is changing the jobs and skills workers need to be successful. The first phase of work will culminate in a report with actionable insights for business leaders and workers. Further details will be shared in the coming months. Findings will be intended to offer practical insights and recommendations to employers that seek ways to reskill and upskill their workers in preparation for AI-enabled environments.
Consortium members represent a cross section of companies innovating on the cutting edge of AI that also understand the current and impending impact of AI on the workforce. Individually, Consortium members have documented opportunities and challenges presented by AI. The collaborative effort enables their organizations to coalesce insights, recommend action plans, and activate findings within their respective broad spheres of influence.
"AI is accelerating the pace of change for the global workforce, presenting a powerful opportunity for the private sector to help upskill and reskill workers for the future," said Francine Katsoudas, Executive Vice President and Chief People, Policy & Purpose Officer, Cisco. "The mission of our newly unveiled AI-Enabled Workforce Consortium is to provide organizations with knowledge about the impact of AI on the workforce and equip workers with relevant skills. We look forward to engaging other stakeholders—including governments, NGOs, and the academic community—as we take this important first step toward ensuring that the AI revolution leaves no one behind."
The Consortium's work is inspired by the TTC's Talent for Growth Task Force and Cisco Chair and CEO Chuck Robbins' leadership of its skills training workstream, and input from the U.S. Department of Commerce. The TTC was established in June 2021 by U.S. President Biden, European Commission President von der Leyen, and European Council President Michel to promote U.S. and EU competitiveness and prosperity through cooperation and democratic approaches to trade, technology, and security.
"At the U.S. Department of Commerce, we're focused on fueling advanced technology and deepening trade and investment relationships with partners and allies around the world. This work is helping us build a strong and competitive economy, propelled by a talented workforce that's enabling workers to get into the good quality, high-paying, family-sustaining jobs of the future. We recognize that economic security and national security are inextricably linked. That's why I'm proud to see the efforts of the Talent for Growth Task Force continue with the creation of the AI-Enabled ICT Workforce Consortium," said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo. "I am grateful to the consortium members for joining in this effort to confront the new workforce needs that are arising in the wake of AI's rapid development. This work will help provide unprecedented insight on the specific skill needs for these jobs. I hope that this Consortium is just the beginning, and that the private sector sees this as a call to action to ensure our workforces can reap the benefits of AI."
The AI-Enabled ICT Workforce Consortium's efforts address a business critical and growing need for a proficient workforce that is trained in various aspects of AI, including the skills to implement AI applications across business processes. The Consortium will leverage its members and advisors to recommend and amplify reskilling and upskilling training programs that are inclusive and can benefit multiple stakeholders – students, career changers, current IT workers, employers, and educators – in order to skill workers at scale to engage in the AI era.
In its first phase of work, the Consortium will evaluate the impact of AI on 56 ICT job roles and provide training recommendations for impacted jobs. These job roles include 80% of the top 45 ICT job titles garnering the highest volume of job postings for the period February 2023-2024 in the United States and five of the largest European countries by ICT workforce numbers (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands) according to Indeed Hiring Lab. Collectively, these countries account for a significant segment of the ICT sector, with a combined total of 10 million ICT workers.
Consortium members universally recognize the urgency and importance of their combined efforts with the acceleration of AI in all facets of business and the need to build an inclusive workforce with family-sustaining opportunities. Consortium members commit to developing worker pathways particularly in job sectors that will increasingly integrate artificial intelligence technology. To that end, Consortium members have established forward thinking goals with skills development and training programs to positively impact over 95 million individuals around the world over the next 10 years. Consortium member goals include:
Cisco to train 25 million people with cybersecurity and digital skills by 2032.
IBM to skill 30 million individuals by 2030 in digital skills, including 2 million in AI.

美国劳工统计局发布12月就业数据US BLS Releases December Employment Situation
美国劳工统计局(BLS)今天发布的12月就业形势显示,经季节性调整后,12月非农就业总数增加了216,000余人,而临时帮助服务就业人数减少了近33,300人。12月临时代理渗透率为1.80%,低于11月修正后的1.82%。全国失业率维持在3.7%不变。
大多数行业群体的就业人数有所扩大。增幅最大的群体仍是卫生和社会援助,增加了58,900多个工作岗位;紧随其后的是政府,增加了52,000多个工作岗位;专业服务(不包括临时帮助),增加了46,300多个工作岗位。运输和仓储、自然资源和采矿业、其他服务业以及临时帮助服务业的就业人数下降。降幅最大的是临时帮助服务业,降幅为近33,300人;其次是运输和仓储业,就业人数下降了近22,600;自然资源和采矿业以及其他服务业就业人数均下降了近1,000人。
BLS修订:
10月份非农业就业人数总数的下调了45,000人,从150,000余人下调至105,000余人,11月份的变化下调了26,000人,从199,000余人下调至173,000余人。通过这些修订,10月和11月的就业人数合计比之前报告的少71,000人。
10月份临时帮助服务就业人数的下调,从增加200余人到损失近42,100人,之前估计的11月下降近13,600人被下调为22,100人。通过这些修订,和11月的就业人数合计比之前报告的低 近50,800 人。
SIA的观点:
美国经济在12月增加了216,000多个工作岗位,超过了彭博社对经济学家的调查中预测的175,000个中值。失业率稳定在3.7%,但劳动力参与率下降了30个基点,从62.8%下降到62.5%,黄金年龄(25-54岁)劳动力参与率从83.3%下降到83.2%。参与人数的下降,在一定程度上反映了住户统计调查中最新的季节性调整因素。
临时帮助服务行业继续与整体经济背道而驰,尽管非农就业人数增长速度快于预期,但就业人数仍下降了33,300人。上个月的修正仍是负面的,而且幅度很大,11月份的就业人数比一个月前的预期少50,800人。这种差异的持续明显指向了劳动力囤积现象,求职者和公司注重直接就业和长期就业,而不是临时工。临时帮工就业人数的急剧下降也与运输和仓储业(一个主要客户垂直行业)的就业岗位疲软高度一致。
竞争压力继续增加,但对于那些通过技术、服务产品或两者兼而有之而发展出竞争优势的人力资源公司来说,仍有持续和巨大的机会。
