93% of large companies view AI as essential to success, but more than three-quarters face severe talent shortage: UST survey

Most organisations are clearly on board the artificial intelligence (AI) ship but lack a skilled AI workforce and need a compass to help navigate these uncharted waters, found research commissioned by digital transformation solutions company UST.

A report based on the research on ‘AI in the Enterprise’ said that obstacles to effective implementation frequently include a lack of in-house AI skills, increasingly complex regulatory requirements and mounting ethical concerns. These factors create uncertainty, slowing AI implementation and preventing the technology from reaching its full potential, it said.
