The rise of artificial intelligence in the workplace highlights a critical gap in employer training programs. A report from DeVry University reveals that 72% of employers do not provide upskilling benefits to all employees, and over 40% lack confidence in their ability to train staff on AI effectively. This lack of comprehensive training poses risks to organizations, potentially leaving them with a workforce unprepared for the evolving demands of the economy.
Employers are underestimating their employees' proficiency in AI, with many workers considering their skills to be more advanced than their employers perceive. The report indicates that while employers believe a significant portion of their workforce are AI novices, workers themselves rate their skills much higher. To address this disconnect, organizations must implement holistic and equitable training programs that foster continuous learning and support all employees, particularly women, in navigating the AI landscape.
• 72% of employers do not offer comprehensive AI upskilling benefits.
• Over half of workers use AI tools regularly, feeling more skilled than employers estimate.
This is crucial for organizations to maintain competitiveness in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
This method is essential for effectively leveraging AI technologies in the workplace.
Recognizing the actual proficiency of workers is vital for tailoring effective training programs.
The university's report highlights the urgent need for effective AI upskilling in the workforce.
