This book explores the investment strategies of platforms in AI and its potential impact on the next generation of competences. It adopts a two-fold approach, examining the organization of platforms for investment in intangibles and AI and providing a framework to understand how AI will shape jobs and skills in the future.

The book addresses five key themes: platforms, platformization, and the foundations of their business models; artificial intelligence, technological trends, and the policy agenda; artificial intelligence, productivity, and the next generation of competences; artificial intelligence, productivity, and the digital divide; and artificial intelligence, ethics, and the post-truth society. The content of the book is primarily drawn from papers presented at the last two installments of the World Conference on Intellectual Capital for Communities, bringing together the perspectives of leading scholars and experts on the future of AI and platformization.

It explores how platforms are investing in AI, the challenges and opportunities they face, and the potential implications for individuals, organizations, and society as a whole.
