"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."
"There is a growing AI skills gap in the UK as employees and the public alike attempt to keep up with the rapid pace of change, leaving some behind due to a lack of access to technology and training. A lack of appropriate skills is reportedly holding organisations back from fully utilising AI, and a deficit of AI-specific skills in organisations is making it an area for hiring focus in the near future."
Investment in AI across the UK and Ireland is projected to grow around 149% by 2030, creating strong demand for new employee capabilities. More than half of UK executives expect employee skillsets to look completely different over the next five years as AI becomes central to business operations. A growing AI skills gap leaves some workers behind due to lack of access to technology and training, constraining organisations from fully utilising AI. A deficit of AI-specific skills is becoming a hiring focus. Proper governance frameworks and reskilling are required before customers will see AI-driven benefits, and correct AI investment could add £400bn to the UK economy over four years.
