SHRM Talent 2026 WRK Defined Podcast: Leadership Changed Overnight. Most Managers Haven’t Caught Up
Most companies still hire for resumes. Meanwhile the real gap is human judgment, AI fluency, adaptability, and leadership under pressure. If your people can’t learn fast, manage ambiguity, or work alongside AI, the skills on paper stop mattering real quick. In this episode, Ignis AI co-founder, Yigal Rosen, PhD, breaks down why “soft skills” is outdated language, how companies should measure power skills, and why self-directed learning is becoming the defining trait of modern talent.

Proposed Framework for Agentic AI Assessment of Creative Thinking for the U.S. Air Force
Researchers from Ignis AI have proposed a framework using agentic AI to assess creative thinking as a measurable, observable skill in U.S. Air Force personnel — moving beyond traditional self-report surveys and static tests. The system places Airmen in dynamic, multi-turn scenarios that simulate real operational pressure, capturing how they generate non-obvious solutions and adapt under evolving constraints. Uniquely, its human-AI hybrid scoring model can distinguish genuine human creative judgment from AI-generated responses, enabling scalable readiness analytics and personalized development across the force.
