    "excerpt": "Only 3% of leaders are prepared to steer the ship on artificial intelligence adoption, research suggests. If the first era of AI at work was marked by questions of adoption, the second era will be that of “adaptation,” Sailesh Hota, vice president of Everest Group, said in a July 22 statement sharing the workforce readiness findings. “As Al becomes embedded across talent processes and workforce systems, the ability to redesign how work is organized may become a more important determinant of success than technology deployment alone,” Hota added. Likewise, newly published research from Gallup supports this idea that AI has become embedded in the current world of work - for better or worse. Rates of AI adoption are only increasing, according to Gallup’s July 21 report, but the research noted that employee engagement is unchanged from its current low point, indicating that AI adoption alone won’t determine whether or not a workforce is engaged. Notably, learning and development programs are a key way to improve employee engagement , a recent SHRM report indicated - especially in the era of AI.",
