This is a rational reaction: according to a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/d341ezm4iqaae0.cloudfront.net\/hiringlaborg\/2025\/10\/02114336\/IndeedHiringLab_AI_Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hiring Lab study<\/a>, 41 percent of all work skills are likely to be significantly transformed by AI, with the technology performing much of the tasks currently &#8211; or formerly &#8211; performed by humans.

Only 4% of job postings on Indeed [<a href=\"https:\/\/data.indeed.com\/#\/ai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1<\/a>] mention AI today, but it&#8217;s driving 67.5% of employee upskilling efforts at Udemy, according to the markets and industries assessed for this brief*.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*Our report examines skill demand trends across manufacturing, technology, and professional services in the US, UK, India, and Australia, comparing data from September 2023 to September 2025* to identify the &#8220;high-growth skills&#8221; \u2013 the top 10 skills showing the largest increases in both job postings on Indeed and course enrollments on Udemy Business.

Every day, employees around the world are seeing statistics and reading headlines about the potential for AI to disrupt their jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Indeed&#8217;s 2025 AI at Work Report [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiringlab.org\/2025\/09\/23\/ai-at-work-report-2025-how-genai-is-rewiring-the-dna-of-jobs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2<\/a>], virtually every job will be impacted by AI to some degree &#8212; some far more than others. More than a quarter (26%) of jobs are likely to be highly transformed by AI, and a small majority (54%) will be moderately impacted. Even if AI cannot or will not fully replace a human at any single job, it will replace at least some elements of all jobs. It is clearly to workers&#8217; benefit to start learning now how the tools work and how best to use them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sources\">Sources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Indeed: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/data.indeed.com\/#\/ai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Indeed AI Tracker<\/a>\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hiring Lab: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiringlab.org\/2025\/09\/23\/ai-at-work-report-2025-how-genai-is-rewiring-the-dna-of-jobs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AI at Work Report 2025: How GenAI is Rewiring the DNA of Jobs<\/a>\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Download this report if you\u2019re a What happens when Indeed&#8217;s Hiring Lab data meets Udemy&#8217;s skills trends?
