AI training gap puts Europe at a disadvantage | Computer Weekly
Briefly

A report by Forrester reveals that European firms are significantly behind US companies in providing AI training. In the US, 52% of employees have received formal AI training compared to just 39% in Europe. Misconceptions about employee interest in AI further complicate the issue, as decision-makers in Europe overestimate motivation. The report highlights Europe's lack of AI confidence and investment as significant challenges in today's AI-driven economy. Forrester advocates for formal AI training programs to alleviate fears surrounding automation and enhance employee competency in AI utilization.
If you ask other employees whether they've received formal AI training, the response is 52% in the US and only 39% in Europe.
Europe's lagging AI confidence, competence and investment are critical challenges in an increasingly AI-driven economy.
The survey found that in Europe, 62% of decision-makers believe their company's non-technical employees feel motivated to learn how to use AI.
