Got an AI mentor?

In today's world, staying ahead of tech is more important than ever. The Radio Davos episode, Do you need an AI mentor?, hosted by Robin Pomeroy, features Kian Katanforoosh, founder and CEO of Workera, discussing the evolving landscape of AI-driven skills development. Sponsored by WEF, the podcast dives into the urgent need for individuals and organisations to become 'AI-ready' as the half-life of digital skills has shrunk dramatically - from over a decade 40 years ago to 2.5 years today.

Katanforoosh shares insights from his work with Workera, a skills intelligence platform. He explores practical approaches for non-technical learners, advocating 'vibe coding,' prompt engineering and building a growth mindset.

The conversation also touches on AI mentorship, with Katanforoosh describing how AI mentors, like his own system Sage, can assess skills, set ambitious goals and connect learners to resources, potentially outperforming humans in bias-free skills evaluation.


Listeners gain valuable guidance on staying competitive in a fast-changing job market, from integrating AI into daily workflows to curating reliable knowledge sources. The discussion is particularly important as young professionals navigate unprecedented career challenges, and enterprises grapple with reskilling demands.
