This \u201cproductivity paradox\u201d is one reason artificial intelligence ROI remains somewhat elusive, Randstad Digital said in its report.
When companies build AI models without regard for whether their workforce can use them, it creates a capability crisis that Randstad\u00a0Digital called \u201cacceleration without direction.\u201d This disconnect between what corporations want and what they\u2019re preparing workers for indicates that the factor most likely to impede corporate AI transformation is neither money nor technology, but rather <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>the workers<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
\u201cEnterprise AI isn\u2019t failing at the model level; it\u2019s failing at the implementation layer,\u201d\u00a0Michael Morris, global head of platform and talent at Randstad Digital, said in a statement. \u201cIf you increase the velocity of your tools without increasing the capacity of your engineers to govern and optimize them, you get technical debt at scale.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
Specifically in North America, 24% of workers have quit their jobs because there were no development opportunities. Worldwide, engineers, architects and delivery leads are most focused on finding employers that incorporate learning as part of an ongoing commitment to employees, per Randstad Digital.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
\u201cThe question for leaders is no longer \u2018How much are we spending on AI?\u2019 but \u2018How fast are our engineering teams learning to work with it?,\u201d\u00a0Morris said. \u201cUpskilling can no longer be treated as an HR program or professional development perk. It\u2019s business-critical infrastructure, part of your technology stack, not separate from it.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
Against this backdrop, there\u2019s been <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>a significant increase in practice-based AI learning<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> and skills validation. According to a report from AI skills management platform Skillsoft, workers are extremely eager to demonstrate their AI proficiency as companies speed up their AI adoption.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>
