The UK's tech sector is grappling with its biggest skills shortage in over 15 years due to the rapid growth of AI. According to the Nash Squared/Harvey Nash Digital Leadership Report, 90% of tech leaders are investing in AI, but half report facing severe skills shortages. While many companies recognize the need for upskilling, only 40% are actively doing so. With expectations that AI will perform tasks presently handled by humans, tech leaders prioritize hiring AI-skilled candidates, indicating a shift in workforce requirements rather than outright job displacement.
Nearly half of technology leaders are facing a significant AI skills shortage in the UK, emphasizing an urgent need for upskilling and talent acquisition.
As the AI landscape evolves, companies need diverse approaches for staff development, including reskilling and leveraging on-the-job learning, to navigate the skills gap effectively.
