The Race of AI Revolution Has Redefined Global Talent Competitiveness 2020

HO CHI MINH, Viet Nam - May 5, 2020 - PRLog -- There is a widening gap of digital skills, especially in Artificial Intelligence (AI) between Vietnam and other high-income nations, according to key findings from the 2020 Global Talent Competitiveness Index (GTCI) research from the Adecco Group, the world's leading HR solutions company, together with Google and INSEAD.

This year's GTCI report addresses the theme of global talent in the age of AI. Notably, the report finds that high-income countries are progressing quickly and dominate the top 25. These 'talent champions' are accelerating further away from the rest of the world, including Vietnam. This divide is being intensified by the rise of AI since more than half of the population in the developing world are still struggling with basic digital skills.

In Global Talent Competitiveness Index 2020, Vietnam is ranked 96 out of 132 countries, falling off 5 positions compared to 2019 and 9 positions to 2018.

Classified in lower-middle-income group and in Eastern, South Eastern & Oceania, Vietnam performs particularly well against its region and rises 10 spots, to 59 in Global Knowledge Skills. The greatest scope for improvement, meanwhile, is in Vocational and Technical (VT) Skills, in which Employability is the weakest sub-pillar. The ranking of 'Attract' pillar also drops from 91^st in 2019 to 105^th in 2020.

Focusing on Global Talent in the Age of AI, this GTCI edition introduces a new component—Technology Adoption, in the Enable pillar. It aims to capture the extent to which countries are taking steps to be ready at the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. It, therefore, provides a measure of how well countries are enabling the development of talents associated with advanced technologies such as AI and the Internet of Things.
