It seems like something like medical/legal professionals’ annual/otherwise periodic credential exams might make sense in fields where AI is very usable.

Basically, we might need to standardize 10-20% of work time being used to “keep up” automatable skills that once took up 80+% of work time in fields where AI-based automation is making things more efficient.

This could even be done within automation platforms themselves, and sold to their customers as an additional feature. I suspect/hope that most employers do not want to see these automatable skills atrophy in their employees, for the sake of long-term efficiency, even if that means a small reduction in short-term efficiency gains from automation.
