Bridging the AI Skills Gap – Is Training Keeping Up?
Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly important in the workplace, driving demand for both specialised professionals and workers with a more general understanding of AI. Upskilling and reskilling initiatives are essential to ensure the workforce is well-prepared for the changes brought about by the adoption of AI. However, there is currently limited understanding of whether present supply can meet present and future AI skill needs. This
OECD brief explores government policies and training initiatives in AI adopted by OECD member countries. It examines how governments are fostering both advanced AI expertise and general AI literacy, and concludes that the present supply may not be sufficient to meet the growing need for AI literacy. The brief highlights approaches that governments can take to expand incentives for AI training and improve its accessibility.
