Most large companies are starved for AI-skilled personnel

Bengaluru: About 93 per cent of large companies view AI as essential to their success in the next five years, but 76 per cent of respondents surveyed by digital transformation solutions company UST, cite a severe shortage of AI-skilled personnel.

The study tabled on Tuesday, surveyed 600 senior IT decision-makers in large companies across the US, UK, India, and Spain.

Obstacles to effective implementation frequently include a lack of in-house AI skills, increasingly complex regulatory requirements, and rising ethical concerns. Approximately 70 per cent of companies are concerned that a lack of diversity within their AI workforce leads to biased outcomes.
