Energy Workforce & Technology Council President Molly Determan joined Dubai Eye’s Business Breakfast to discuss how artificial intelligence is influencing recruitment, retention, and workforce trends across the global energy sector.
During the conversation, Determan highlighted how companies are adopting AI tools to identify skills gaps, strengthen workforce planning, and improve efficiency while maintaining a focus on the people who power the industry. She also addressed current job numbers and emphasized that despite market fluctuations, the sector continues to show resilience as companies exercise capital discipline and invest strategically in talent development.
Determan noted that technology is an enabler, not a replacement, for human expertise. As the industry continues to evolve, she emphasized the importance of pairing innovation with leadership and culture to retain top talent and sustain long-term growth.
Energy Workforce & Technology Council continues to prepare companies and workers for this shift through training programs, leadership initiatives, and industry collaboration focused on advancing a skilled, adaptable energy workforce.
