In this 30-minute online presentation and question-and-answer session, authors Tali Arkushin, Camille Combe and Philippe Crist present the findings of the latest ITF report, "Skills Move us Forward: Transport Workforce Skills in the Age of AI". The growing role of artificial intelligence in the transport sector drives demand for new skills while placing pressure on roles that rely on automatable tasks. Workers face mounting expectations to reskill and adapt to a more automated labour market in order to harness AI’s benefits. At the same time, overreliance on AI raises concerns about skill erosion and related risks. Identifying and retaining critical expertise is therefore essential to improving safety and the operational resilience of transport systems. The report calls for a proportionate, anticipatory approach to skills development and AI governance, with an emphasis on retaining critical expertise and building the enabling skills that underpin it. Drawing on five guiding principles, it outlines how public authorities can reduce barriers to reskilling, by addressing motivation, capability and access to training, to support the safe, responsible and resilient adoption of AI in transport.
