Workplace AI readiness lags significantly behind adoption, report finds

A recent report from Skillsoft indicates a significant gap between AI adoption in the workplace and employee readiness. While 86% of surveyed employees are using AI tools, only 24% feel fully equipped with the necessary skills. This disparity is further highlighted by a disconnect with leadership, as 77% of leaders believe their organizations have adequately prepared staff. The report points to issues such as a lack of formal skills assessments, training that often occurs after deployment, time constraints for upskilling, and weak AI governance as key contributors to this readiness gap.
