One signal

Almost half of Irish companies are failing to address their skills gap, according to research by Learnovate reported by Silicon Republic. The report’s summary links that shortfall to organisations implementing AI without keeping pace on training and development.

It is a useful warning about the people side of adoption, though the available account does not establish how the research measured the gap or what training firms need. Is it fair to expect businesses to roll out AI before they have a credible plan to train the people using it?

Discuss: Should businesses have to show a training plan before rolling out AI, or is that likely to slow adoption without fixing the skills gap?
