There is fast-growing interest in taxonomies that categorise and describe the skills that individuals deploy at work, to enable digital applications that engage with skills and to facilitate reskilling and upskilling required by a fast-changing job environment. Maury Shenk explores the emerging landscape of traditional and new skills taxonomies, and explains how artificial intelligence and related techniques can make these taxonomies more useful - drawing on his experience as CEO of LearnerShape, which is developing the world's first AI-driven, open source learning infrastructure.
