Artificial Intelligence's Impact on Worldwide Skillset Diversity
Global Talent Competitiveness Index 2020 Embraces Technology and AI
The Global Talent Competitiveness Index (GTCI) 2020, now in its seventh year, has undergone significant updates to reflect the evolving landscape of technology and talent. This year's edition introduces a new "Technology adoption" component, revises the city ranking model, and expands its coverage to more countries.
The GTCI 2020 emphasizes the challenge of "Global Talent in the Age of Artificial Intelligence," exploring how talent and technology intersect in workforce competitiveness. One of the key updates is the introduction of a Technology adoption indicator. This measure evaluates the integration of advanced technologies, such as AI, into talent strategies and ecosystems.
In addition to the Technology adoption component, the 2020 edition has revised the city ranking model to better assess talent competitiveness at the urban level. This update aims to reflect the evolving role of cities as dynamic hubs of talent and innovation in the global economy.
The GTCI 2020 covers 132 countries, an increase from last year's 125. The total number of indicators in the report has grown from 68 to 70. The GCTCI model, which primarily focuses on city-level data, has been refined in three ways: business- and impact-oriented variables have been introduced, the share of values proxied by regional or national data has been reduced, and the structure of the model has been refined.
The GTCI, first launched in 2014, is an annual benchmarking report that measures and ranks countries based on talent growth, attraction, and retention. It provides data and analysis to help decision-makers develop talent strategies, overcome talent mismatches, and compete globally.

This year's GTCI report highlights the growing importance of technology and AI in shaping the global talent landscape. The new Technology adoption component is a significant step towards measuring digital and AI-enabled capabilities alongside traditional talent metrics. The report also underscores the need for countries and cities to adapt their talent strategies to remain competitive in the AI era.
