Reclaim your agency in the era of AI agents!
Explore our Skills Ontologies
We have documented the top 250 human-type skills and assembled them into ten main categories. Feel free to browse and understand the relationships in these ontologies:
Adaptability
Collaboration
Communication
Conflict Resolution
Creativity
Critical Thinking
Emotional Intelligence
Global Thinking
Leadership
Organization
Our aim is that by providing easy access to our categorizations of in-demand human skills, we will benefit everyone in three main ways:
Moreover, regardless of how AI affects the global workforce, we commit to maintaining these ontologies that still define what it is to be a 'Skilled Human'. This includes striving for basic rights (such as maintaining one's own agency) and important concepts (such as avoiding the delegation of important decisions to AI). We feel this is especially important where elements of social justice are involved, and we genuinely believe this to be an important principle for which we should all strive.
The world of AI is uncertain
In the middle of all this is you and your fellow humans!
The idea of AI agents replacing humans in the workforce should be a major concern for anyone—including current employees, students, and educators—regardless of how effective (or not) those agents turn out to be.
At the Skilled Human Organization we do not attempt to predict the future. We do not take a position on what the world of work will look like, nor what AI can achieve. Instead, we simply keep a close eye on the skills that are actually in demand by employers across the globe and we remain technology-agnostic.
The good news is that human-oriented skills remain the most commonly sought-after skills!
We analyze millions of current job descriptions and categorize these human-type skills into rich ontologies. These ontologies show the relationships between each skill, and they provide rich definitions of the skills and their relationships.
