Citing the CNBC keynote address, the article adds that "Rometty also suggested that AI will impact every industry. This echoes comments she made earlier this year at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, in which she said that "new technologies" risked disenfranchising 'a large part of society.'"

Rometty said, "As a result, we face an imminent and profound transformation of the workforce over the next five to 10 years as analytics and artificial intelligence change job roles at companies in all industries." Pulse 2.0 adds that "IBM is investing $1 billion in apprenticeship programs for training workers for 'new collar' jobs." In addition to P-TECH programs, "IBM and the Consumer Technology Association partnered to launch the CTA Apprenticeship Coalition - which will create thousands of new apprenticeships in 20 states in January."
