50% of Workers Aren’t AI-Ready: Find Out How IBM Plans to Fix That

In this episode, David Savage sits down with Justina Nixon-Saintil, Chief Impact Officer at IBM, to explore how one of the world’s largest tech companies is responding to the AI talent crisis. With 50% of today’s workforce lacking the basic tech skills needed to adapt, Justina outlines IBM’s bold mission to skill 30 million people by 2030—two million in AI alone by 2026. From responsible AI to inclusive access, she explains what it means to build a future where people lead AI, not the other way around.
