AWS is expanding its initiative to train 100,000 people in the UK in AI by 2030, recognizing the rapid adoption of AI across businesses. Data shows one business is adopting AI every minute, necessitating a skilled workforce. The AWS Skills to Jobs Tech Alliance, which initially targeted students in the US, Egypt, and Spain, is now focusing on the UK, aligning with government efforts to maximize AI's potential. Reports indicate that 47% of new jobs will require AI skills, yet only 27% of businesses feel prepared to implement AI effectively.
"The government has talked about the opportunity for [AI to generate] £45bn in operational efficiency savings, but what is sometimes lost on the discussion is how that will be realised ... and part of that comes down to addressing the skills piece."
"The AWS Summit coincided with the publication of the latest edition of the AWS Unlocking the UK's AI potential report, which shines a light on how big a barrier access to skills could be for businesses wanting to adopt AI."
