AI is no longer a futuristic concept — it’s here, reshaping how organizations assess, train, and develop talent. In the GCC, where governments are aggressively investing in digital transformation, AI-powered assessments are becoming a core part of corporate learning strategies.
Why AI Assessments Matter:
They automate and personalize training plans
Provide deep insight into behavioral and cognitive skills
Enable data-driven succession and promotion decisions
Examples of AI-Based Assessments:
AI-Powered Video Interviews (facial recognition, speech sentiment)
Smart 360° Feedback Tools with pattern recognition
Skill gap analysis engines using NLP and machine learning
Case Study – Abu Dhabi Government Entity:
Sharef & Co implemented a leadership development program using AI-based 360 assessments for mid and senior managers. The results?
- Identification of hidden high-potential leaders
- Personalized coaching pathways
- Strategic succession planning based on data, not politics
What GCC Companies Need to Do:
- Audit current assessment tools – are they AI-ready?
- Train L&D teams on interpreting AI-generated results
- Blend AI tools with human judgment in leadership programs
Final Thought:
AI won’t replace your HR team — but it will supercharge their impact. The organizations that embrace AI-enhanced L&D today will build future-ready workforces aligned with Vision 2030, Vision 2040, and UAE Centennial goals.
