However, due to its transformative nature, GenAI increasingly overlaps with traditional AI roles, blurring boundaries and intensifying the need to reassess workforce competencies. To address this challenge, this paper introduces KANVAS (Kolmogorov\u2013Arnold Network Versatile Algorithmic Solution)\u2014a framework based on Kolmogorov\u2013Arnold Networks (KANs), which utilize B-spline-based, compact, and interpretable neural units\u2014to distinguish between traditional AI roles and emerging GenAI-related positions. The aim of the study is to develop a reliable and interpretable labor market classification system that differentiates these roles using explainable machine learning. Unlike prior studies that emphasize predictive performance, our work is the first to employ KANs as an explanatory tool for labor classification, to reveal how GenAI-related and European Skills, Competences, Qualifications, and Occupations (ESCO)-aligned skills differentially contribute to distinguishing modern from traditional AI job roles. Using raw job vacancy data from two labor market platforms, KANVAS implements a hybrid pipeline combining a state-of-the-art Large Language Model (LLM) with Explainable AI (XAI) techniques, including Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP), to enhance model transparency. The framework achieves approximately 80% classification consistency between traditional and GenAI-aligned roles, while also identifying the most influential skills contributing to each category. Our findings indicate that GenAI positions prioritize competencies such as prompt engineering and LLM integration, whereas traditional roles emphasize statistical modeling and legacy toolkits. By surfacing these distinctions, the framework offers actionable insights for curriculum design, targeted reskilling programs, and workforce policy development. Overall, KANVAS contributes a novel, interpretable approach to understanding how GenAI reshapes job roles and skill requirements in a rapidly evolving labor market. Finally, the open-source implementation of KANVAS is flexible and well-suited for HR managers and relevant stakeholders.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/a18090554","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,2]],"date-time":"2025-09-02T13:01:13Z","timestamp":1756818073000},"page":"554","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Future Skills in the GenAI Era: A Labor Market Classification System Using Kolmogorov\u2013Arnold Networks and Explainable AI"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-7366-0273","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dimitrios Christos","family":"Kavargyris","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Informatics, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54124 Thessaloniki, Greece"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9851-1196","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Konstantinos","family":"Georgiou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Informatics, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54124 Thessaloniki, Greece"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-4002-8267","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eleanna","family":"Papaioannou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Informatics, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54124 Thessaloniki, Greece"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1673-196X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Theodoros","family":"Moysiadis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, School of Sciences and Engineering, University of Nicosia, Nicosia 2417, Cyprus"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3061-7864","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nikolaos","family":"Mittas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, School of Science, Democritus University of Thrace, 65404 Kavala, Greece"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6677-4039","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lefteris","family":"Angelis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Informatics, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54124 Thessaloniki, Greece"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"100652","DOI":"10.1016\/j.chbr.2025.100652","article-title":"Impacts of generative artificial intelligence on the future of labor market: A systematic review","volume":"18","author":"Salari","year":"2025","journal-title":"Comput.
