With a commitment to establishing scalable open talent processes , Seth is working to implement UST ’ s open talent strategy and the business development of its generative AI practice . Leading the open talent centre of excellence , he is able to bring its plethora of experience in legal , finance , marketing and security sectors .
Jon Lester says that understanding the difference between ‘ traditional ’ and ‘ generative ’ AI will be key for businesses , so that employees can develop skills from a clear benchmark .
“ The pace of change that AI is creating means that the AI skills you learn today may have a half-life of less than three years and so a mindset of continuous development will be required to keep skills up to date ,” he says .
Ultimately , the onus is on the employer to ensure that their workforces are up-to-date with existing AI strategies

“ Companies need to get the workforce comfortable with playing with AI tools and nurture a sense of curiosity around them ”
