AI-AUGMENTED HUMAN CAPITAL: SKILLS AND COMPETENCIES FOR HYBRID WORKFORCES – A SPECIAL REFERENCE TO IT INDUSTRIES

Abstract

AI augmentation in the workplace creates unique opportunities and challenges for human capital development, especially within hybrid workforce models. This research surveys recent literature and applies empirical modeling to examine the evolution of key skills and competencies required as artificial intelligence integrates with human roles. Gaps in current theory and practice are identified, and recommendations are proposed for enhancing organizational readiness and workforce adaptability. The study concludes with implications for reskilling, ethical AI deployment, and policy interventions for hybrid workforce success.
