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.

I wish you were right, but I don't think any industry is realistically trending towards thinking about long term efficiency or sustainability. Maybe it's just me, but I see the opposite, constantly. Everything is focused on the next quarter, always. Companies want massive short term gains and will trade almost anything for that. And the whole system is set up to support this behavior, because if you can squeeze enough money to retire out of a company in as short a time as possible, you can be long gone before it implodes
