Staff too scared of the AI axe to pick it up, Forrester find
"Forrester's research indicates that 68 percent of organizations are using generative AI in deployed production applications, but employee readiness is a significant barrier to success."
"The report highlights that only 51 percent of organizations offer internal AI training to non-technical employees, while just 23 percent provide training in prompt engineering, a crucial skill for generative AI."
"Employee fears regarding job losses due to AI are pervasive, despite few actual job losses occurring, and public statements from CEOs about job cuts exacerbate this anxiety."
"Forrester's AI quotient (AIQ) metric shows that employees in the US, UK, Germany, France, and Australia have not made meaningful progress in AI readiness over the past year."
Many organizations struggle with AI deployment due to low employee readiness and fear of job loss. Forrester's report indicates that 68 percent of organizations use generative AI, but employee training remains inadequate. Only 51 percent of firms provide internal AI training to non-technical staff, and just 23 percent offer prompt engineering training. Employee anxiety about job security, fueled by CEO statements about job cuts, further stifles AI adoption. As a result, progress in AI readiness has stagnated across several countries.
