Hub Culture Davos 2026: Art Valentine on the AI Skills Gap That Could Cost the Economy Trillions 310 views
AI is moving fast.
Human learning isn’t.
At Davos, we sat down with Art Valentine, President of Assessment & Qualifications at Pearson, to unpack a truth most AI conversations skip: technology alone doesn’t create value—people do.
Pearson’s latest research shows that up to $6.6 trillion in productivity could be unlocked in the U.S. by 2034 if companies stop chasing tools and start investing in human capability. Credentials, continuous learning, and real-time assessment are becoming the bridge between talent and opportunity in an AI-powered economy.
As AI agents enter the workforce and jobs evolve faster than job titles, the winners won’t be those who fear automation—but those who learn how to work with it.
This conversation goes beyond hype and straight into what actually matters:
✔ skills that last
✔ trust in outcomes
✔ confidence in humans alongside AI
