The AI training gap: Business leaders expect their employees to use AI at work but they aren’t providing them with any guidance

Good morning!

Every world’s business leader seems to know how to embrace artificial intelligence to stay able to compete in a rapidly changing technical scene. But when it comes to integrating technology effectively, their workforce expectations are not fully lined with reality.

Only 10 % of C-SUITE leaders say their companies are ready for the future, according to new data from the ADECO group, which was included in 2000 people, in a joint report exclusively with luck. The lack of preparation is likely to be the result of training of poor workforce. While nearly two -thirds of the leaders expect employees to update their skills for artificial intelligence, only a third of companies provides a clear policy on how employees use this technology.

Caroline Basin, head of digital information technology and information technology employees at the AdECCO Group, believes that the training gap can partially be attributed to “ignorance” by executives. “Leaders need to understand and understand that artificial intelligence will turn the way we work,” she says, she says, she says luck. “There are some industries that have understood this. There are some industries that have not yet understood the relationship between taking advantage of artificial intelligence and the results they will achieve, whether in terms of revenues or in terms of productivity.”

She adds that the use of artificial intelligence simply is not enough – businesses must completely rethink about its organization and the functioning of the work to better use the power of technology. “Investing in artificial intelligence products is only half of the battle,” she says. “The entire leadership team, culture and learning structure, are no less important than developing the product in [and of] itself.”

The report recommends that the leaders “create the framework of Amnesty International, participate and commit to it as a issue of urgency” and to ensure that the employees are good knowledge of policy details. Leaders must also consider the “Artificial Intelligence Ethics Committee, training at the company level, and a worker forum to express concerns.

Basin says there is no model that suits everyone when it comes to training workers how to use artificial intelligence, and confirms that the training program used yesterday may not work tomorrow. But she says that the more specialized the training of the workforce, the better.

“We need to make functional movement a reality. We need to make sure that we are planning to disturb and enable employees to build new skills,” she says.
