By 2030, AI-powered agents and robots could unlock $2.9 trillion in annual US economic value if organizations prepare their people and organize workflows around people, agents and robots working together. Capturing it will depend less on new tech breakthroughs and more on how we redesign workflows and how quickly human skills adapt. Learn more in McKinsey Global Institute's latest report on human and AI collaboration: mck.co/aiskills And stay tuned for more insights like this during AWS re:Invent next week.

As AI becomes a daily part of how we work, one idea from our new McKinsey Global Institute report has really stayed with me: this is a collaboration, not a handover. We find that while AI could automate more than half of current US work hours, most human skills will remain highly relevant – just applied differently. Communication, problem-solving, empathy, and judgment won’t go away, but they’ll need to be used alongside a new capability: AI fluency. That’s both reassuring and a big ask. The core of work will still be human, but we’ll all need to learn how to guide, question, and collaborate with intelligent systems as true teammates. The opportunity is immense if organizations reimagine workflows around people and AI, redesigning roles so that the two can bring out the best in each other. Thank you to my fellow coauthors – Lareina Yee, Sven Smit, Alexis Krivkovich, Michael Chui, María Jesús Ramírez Larraín, and Diego A. Castresana Bao – for such a rich collaboration on "Agents, robots, and us: Skill partnerships in the age of AI." Read more here: mck.co/aiskills

The age of AI is redefining the very building blocks of work. Our new report, “Agents, robots, and us: Skill partnerships in the age of AI,” finds that: ▪ Today’s technology could automate 57% of US work hours ▪ Demand for AI fluency has risen 7x in two years ▪ By 2030, AI could unlock $2.9 trillion in annual US value Yet most human skills remain relevant. The partnership between people, agents, and robots is already taking shape as businesses embed the technologies in their workflows, changing skill profiles for jobs in many industries. Explore how this new partnership could reshape workflows, skills, and leadership: mck.co/aiskills

After a decade of expansion, ESG as a framework to measure a company’s societal impact is undergoing a rethink. But the most forward-looking firms are redefining what comes next. In a recent MGI event, report authors Sven Smit, Kevin Russell, and Clarisse Magnin share insights on how companies can harness their unique strengths to address the world's pressing challenges. The discussion offers a vision of what could lie “beyond ESG.” At the core of the ESG rethink lies a simple insight: Companies can create real value for society but only if they focus on where their core capabilities can make the biggest difference and if they decide that action meets their company’s goals. Watch the discussion ⬇️
Join report authors Nick Leung, Clarisse Magnin-Mallez, Kevin Russell, and Sven Smit on November 13 for a discussion on how leading companies are moving beyond compliance to build ESG strategies that create both societal and business value. Register here: https://bit.ly/3JNNeoc They will discuss the themes of a recent MGI report, "Beyond ESG: From checklists to capabilities," including: 📌 Ways to leverage innovation, technology, and cross-sector collaboration to build a business case that aligns with societal impact. 📌 Analysis showing how most societal issues can benefit from innovation and corporate strengths, but often from just a few industries. 📌 How business opportunities for addressing societal issues vary by sector, region, and type of company. 📌 And the limits of the role of companies in resolving societal issues and where society faces choices about what market interventions to make.

Human adaptation isn’t new. We’ve been reshaping our environments for thousands of years. But as McKinsey Global Institute Partner Mekala Krishnan shared at #COP30, the climate ahead won’t look like the one we’ve always known. That means planning differently, acting earlier, and building resilience for a future that’s already taking shape. Discover what this means for leaders and communities today⬇️. #McKinseyAtCOP
