Build the capability — and agency — to navigate an AI-shaped world of work.
A Global Shapers Chengdu Hub initiative helping young people and early-career workers understand change, diagnose their capabilities, build what matters and apply it in the real world.
Real people. Shared learning. Practical change.

How we measure03 / THE MODEL
The loop keeps capability building connected to the world people are trying to navigate.

01 / UNDERSTAND
Translate changes in AI, jobs and the labour market into practical guidance about tasks, roles, careers and capability requirements.
02 / DIAGNOSE
Identify strengths, gaps and development priorities across eight capabilities and six developmental AI Work Profiles.
03 / RESKILL
Develop practical AI fluency, human-AI collaboration, judgment and role-based capabilities through online and offline learning.
04 / APPLY
Use challenges, projects and real-world problems to move beyond learning and demonstrate how AI can be applied to practical work.
05 / LEARN
Carry learning from real-world application back into the next cycle of understanding, diagnosis and capability building.
Learn from real work. Bring it back into the Loop.
AI is changing tasks, roles and career pathways faster than traditional learning and workforce systems can adapt.
But the ability to respond is uneven. Some people have access to new tools, guidance, professional networks and learning opportunities. Many others do not.
Stay in the Loop exists to make the AI transition more navigable and more inclusive — so people can understand what is changing, build the capabilities that matter, and turn those capabilities into real opportunity.
Our vision is a future where AI expands human opportunity rather than deepening the divide between those who can adapt early and those who cannot.
The goal is not more AI training. It is better adaptation to an AI-shaped world of work.
04 / 循环实践
The model connects research, diagnosis, learning and real-world application — and is already being tested across different contexts.
FDE OPEN NIGHT / SHANGHAI
One question: how does AI actually get delivered?

FDE OPEN NIGHT
前线工程与交付落地交流会
From enterprise agents and AI security to productization and frontline engineering, FDE Open Night brought developers, enterprise practitioners and AI builders together to explore what it takes to move AI from proof-of-concept into real delivery.
Co-organized by Global Shapers Chengdu Hub
Registrations, onsite participation and livestream audience are separate measures; they are not added into a unique-person count.





Chengdu, China · Applied AI Challenge
An applied AI challenge environment where participants move from ideas to problem framing, solution development and presentation.
WAIC Future Tech OPC Challenge · ~80 participants. Supported by Global Shapers Chengdu Hub.
Application makes capability visible, testable and useful beyond the learning room.

Foundational AI literacy · Learning delivery in China, India and Kenya
Earlier learning programmes across China, India and Kenya engaged 200+ educators and education leaders and reached 1,000+ learners. These are programme-specific figures, not additional initiative totals or India-only counts. They describe reach and participation, not unique people or learning outcomes.

05 / THE NETWORK
在多个社区中共同构建,而非局限于一间教室。
Connecting perspectives across Asia, Africa, Europe and North America.
Nine Global Shapers communities. Shared learning, with each hub contributing in its own way.

The long-term goal is not to export one fixed curriculum. It is to build a model that local communities can adapt to their own workforce and learning context.
06 / TOOLS THAT POWER THE LOOP
LEVEL 1 · EXPLORE
6–7 minutes · 7 primary Player Types + the additional Mission Integrator identity · Exploratory · Shareable result

Quickly reflect on your current way of working with AI.
从 AI 时代玩家开始LEVEL 2 · DEEPEN
17–22 min · 8 capability dimensions · Development report

Understand capabilities, strengths, blind spots and development priorities.
参加深入评估Learn about the AI fluency assessmentThe quality of AI-supported work depends on more than knowing how to prompt. Our assessment looks at eight capabilities that shape how people frame problems, collaborate with AI, verify information, exercise judgment, take ownership, learn and create original value.
阅读 AI 素养框架The assessment does not reduce people to a single score. It identifies developmental patterns that help people understand how they currently work with AI — and what to build next.
07 / LISTEN → MEASURE → ADAPT
We continuously gather perspectives from young professionals, business leaders, educators and workforce practitioners to understand how AI is changing real work before deciding what people should be assessed or trained on.
40+ FIELD CONVERSATIONS
我们关于 AI、Z 世代与劳动力转型的工作洞察,为我们与商业领袖及国际受众围绕 AI 如何重塑早期职业工作、能力发展和未来工作展开的对话提供了依据。
Cross-hub dialogue, future-of-work conversations, research and public dialogue.
Listening across roles helps us understand what people need to learn, use and repeat.
These conversations inform our work; they do not imply endorsement.




As work changes, the capabilities people need will change too. Research, field conversations and public dialogue continuously feed back into the program.

What the numbers mean.
Cumulative exposure across assessments, learning, interviews and events — not a count of unique people or demonstrated outcomes.
Participation across programme activities. A person may take part more than once, so this is not a count of unique people.
Facilitators trained to support learning and capability building. Training facilitators is distinct from measuring what participants learn.
Sessions delivered across the initiative. A session count describes activity, not learning or career outcomes.
Assessments started, not completed assessments or unique participants. Starting an assessment does not demonstrate capability improvement.
We are studying whether learning changes capability, practice and opportunity. These are questions we are exploring, not outcomes we have already demonstrated.
Stronger evidence of effective AI-supported work.
New skills and workflows applied in study, work or projects.
Better-informed learning and career decisions.
Capability carried into classrooms, organizations and communities.
Tools and learning models reused by hubs, schools and organizations.
