Artificial intelligence is transforming not only the jobs people hold, but also the skills they rely on to do them. New data from LinkedIn shows that 85 percent of U.S. professionals could see at least a quarter of their skills affected by AI. In other words, a significant portion of workers' expertise may need to evolve to keep pace. As a reflection of this shift, the most in-demand skill over the past year, unsurprisingly, has been AI literacy.

While over half of all Americans rate math skills as "very important" in their work (55 percent) and personal (63 percent) lives, only 38 percent of young people (ages 18 to 24) said math skills are very important in their work life and 37 percent in their personal life, according to a December survey of 5,100 U.S. adults.

The research findings reveal that while digital transformation is a priority for many UK public sector organizations, they remain at the early stages of this journey.
