The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that major employers in technology and finance increasingly expect new recruits to be "AI-literate" and understand how to use artificial-intelligence tools to boost their efficiency. The Globe's Vanmala Subramaniam writes that across the corporate world, business leaders are racing to incorporate generative AI into their workflows in the name of efficiency as the technology morphs into an operational necessity. Wealthsimple is trying to boost head count in its product design and AI department, said people head Diana McLachlan. The financial company recently launched a recruiting program called North Star, targeting Canadians working abroad to return to Canada for jobs at Wealthsimple. For Helena Pagano, chief people and culture officer at Sun Life Financial, helping legacy employees become AI literate is key in building a competitive work force. "I'm not too worried about the younger folk, they will be technologically savvy, they'll know how to use AI tools. To me the biggest focus right now is how do you change the way older employees think about problems and systems and get them to incorporate AI into their work?" Ms. Pagano said. "That's this year's focus."
