"Euan Blair, Founder and CEO of Multiverse, said the rise of this "invisible" AI workforce shows the crucial role non-tech professions are playing in broader adoption rates. "Clinicians and council workers are just as integral to driving AI adoption as software engineers and data analysts," he said. "They are the ones finding practical ways to apply this technology to real-world problems, yet they're often a second order consideration.""
"Analysis from Multiverse found over two-thirds of people using AI tools at work are in roles "not traditionally associated with tech", including tradespeople, surveyors, and nurses. "The UK has all the ingredients to become the original AI-first nation but we can't get there by restricting AI use to the tech department," Blair added. "Meaningful progress will only come from upskilling everyone.""
Over two-thirds of workplace AI users are in roles not traditionally associated with technology, such as tradespeople, surveyors, and nurses. Sixty-seven percent of participants in AI apprenticeship programs use AI daily in non-tech roles. The invisible AI workforce includes frontline public service jobs like clinicians, council workers, shipping clerks, biomedical scientists, child protection workers, retail staff, and charity fundraisers. Clinicians and council workers are applying AI to real-world problems alongside software engineers and data analysts. Concentrations of AI apprentices outside digital industries are highest in financial services, government administration, hospital and healthcare, and higher education. National progress depends on broad upskilling.
