Pearson, the learning and assessment company, announced on Sept. 29 that it has agreed to acquire Workera, an AI-native skills platform used by organizations including ServiceNow, Accenture and the U.S. Space Force to assess employee capabilities. The deal follows Workera's Sept. 23 report showing nearly 70% of workers use AI regularly, but almost 60% say they lack time to upskill.
A Workera report released Sept. 23 found 67.8% of surveyed employees now use AI tools beyond ChatGPT several days a week, up from about 40% a year earlier. Yet the same survey found 56.4% of employees say they have no time set aside for upskilling, and many lack materials or ways to measure their skills. The survey polled 1,000 salaried US employees at companies with 5,000+ staff in July 2026, compared against a March 2025 baseline.

Anthropic disclosed in a threat intelligence report that it detected and shut down efforts to use its Claude AI models for potentially dangerous purposes, including activity that could aid biological weapons development.
