Abstract: Abstract This chapter examines how workforce demographics and technology are impacting how human expertise is perceived and defined. First, it focuses on the changing composition of the U.S. workforce, which is increasingly more diverse compared to previous decades (in educational attainment, age, gender, and race). It looks at how this diversity has changed the typical profile of today’s CEOs and entrepreneurs. Second, it explains how the digital revolution and the exponential use of artificial intelligence in the workplace have created new demands in labor needs and employee skills in for-profit and nonprofit organizations. The author posits that the combination of these changes is reshaping how human expertise is perceived and defined, especially in technology fields.
