I’ve spent more than 25 years working in AI & Digital, and I can tell you this — we’re past the point of asking if the technology will transform work. The question now is, how fast it will do so.
The data already tells a remarkable story. KPMG’s 2025 CEO Outlook survey of over 1,300 global CEOs reveals that nearly three-quarters plan to invest 20 percent of their entire budget on AI in the 12 months alone. It is their top investment priority for the second year running. But what matters most is that these leaders aren’t preparing for mass layoffs, they’re actively hiring for AI skills and investing in upskilling. They’re investing in the emergence of what I call the “superhuman” employee — i.e., professionals augmented by AI to achieve what was once impossible.
