AI adoption faces three barriers: organizational change management, a lack of employee trust and workforce skills gaps, a report shows.
Few companies have aligned their workforce strategies with their artificial intelligence investments, leaving a major gap in preparedness and talent needs, according to a May 29 report from Kyndryl, an enterprise technology services firm.
About 7 in 10 leaders responding to a survey said their workforce isn’t ready to successfully leverage AI tools, and half said their organizations lack the skilled talent to manage AI.
“Only a small group of businesses have been able to harness AI successfully for business growth,” Michael Bradshaw, global practice leader for applications, data and AI at Kyndryl, said in a statement. “This report shows that while data architecture and technology infrastructure are key pieces of the puzzle, organizations that do not prioritize their workforces will miss out.”
