With the UK facing significant AI skills shortages, new research suggests a sharper focus on boosting workforce diversity will be required to meet government AI training plans. A new study from BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT found the proportion of women working in tech has risen to 22%. While the marks a welcomed - albeit small - increase of 1%, the institute noted there's still a lot of work to be done.
"There are few solutions available on the market that are dedicated to non-technical people," Aureliusz Gorski, founder and CEO of Warsaw-based CampusAI, told TechCrunch. CampusAI's solution? An educational platform focused on making learning accessible to everyday people who want to bring AI into their everyday workflows - whether that's to help improve sales, HR, legal, or just give your personal branding a boost with AI. The platform aims to help people understand and work with AI, rather than be intimidated by it.
