UPSKILLING AND RESKILLING THROUGH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: TRANSFORMING HUMAN CAPITAL FOR THE DIGITAL ERA
The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping organizational functions, redefining job roles, and elevating skill requirements. As businesses embrace intelligent automation, reskilling and upskilling have emerged as strategic priorities to sustain competitiveness and workforce relevance. This study examines how AI-driven training programs transform human capital in the digital era. Using a conceptual and analytical approach, it synthesizes empirical insights, industry practices, and HR frameworks to explore adaptive AI-based learning, predictive skill-gap analytics, personalized training pathways, and HR alignment with digital talent strategies. The findings indicate that organizations investing in AI-supported reskilling strengthen innovation, adaptability, and competitive advantage. Finally, the study proposes a strategic framework for integrating AI-driven L&D into organizational HR strategy.
