Global Survey Exposes Gap Between AI Ambition and Workforce Readiness

The 2025 Deloitte Human Capital Trends report, based on a survey of 14,000 business and HR leaders across 95 countries, reveals a striking disconnect: while 77 precent agree that integrating AI with human capabilities is essential for success, only 7 percent feel very ready to meet this challenge. Seventy-one percent expect AI to significantly redesign work within 3–5 years, yet just 16 percent say their organizations are actively preparing employees for this shift. Notably, those investing in both human sustainability and technology are 1.4 times more likely to achieve strong human and business outcomes, highlighting the urgent need to bridge the gap between AI ambition and workforce preparedness.
