Research from IBM states that employees will need AI skills in the near future for organisations to benefit from the technology
A shift in employee skills will be vital over the next five years to fully utilise artificial intelligence (AI), according to research by IBM.
IBM’s study, The enterprise in 2030, found investment in AI across the UK and Ireland will grow around 149% between now and 2030, requiring a skills shift to ensure employees are able to effectively utilise the technology.
More than half of UK executives asked by IBM claimed that their employees’ skillset will look completely different over the next five years as AI becomes an increasingly important part of businesses.
Rahul Kalia, managing partner for UK and Ireland at IBM Consulting, said: “AI is no longer just a tool for efficiency; it’s becoming a growth engine for the enterprise. With UK AI investment set to increase significantly in the next four years, success will hinge on integrating AI into core business strategies and reskilling the workforce. Organisations that act decisively, with the appropriate governance and controls in place for AI, will be the ones defining competitive advantage tomorrow.
