AI And Cyber Skills Worryingly Lacking, Say Business Leaders
ComputerWeekly, Thursday, July 11th, 2024
A lack of skilled workers has been an ongoing concern for the tech sector, but Computer Weekly's annual survey finds skills in artificial intelligence and cyber are a particular pain point
Tech companies across Europe are suffering from a worrying lack of skills in artificial intelligence (AI) and cyber security, according to research by Computer Weekly.
The annual Computer Weekly/TechTarget IT salary survey asked IT workers the areas of their organisations where skills are lacking to a problematic degree, with cyber and AI topping the list.
Almost 40% of European IT workers said a lack of AI skills was a problem, and 37% said the same for cyber security skills, though 8% claimed not to have any skills shortages at all.
