The UK's AI ambitions face one major hurdle - finding enough home-grown talent
Briefly

The UK government's initiative to generate 13,000 AI jobs is encouraging, but a study from Deel highlights significant concerns about skill availability. Nearly 25% of enterprises struggle to fill AI roles, with Matt Monette emphasizing that the UK's goal as an AI innovation leader depends on the right talent pool. To counteract shortages, many organizations are looking abroad to hire skilled workers, particularly from the US, Europe, and Canada. This approach not only addresses immediate needs but also supports sustainable growth in a flexible work environment.
"Hiring from abroad can ease this pain point, letting organizations expand their nets for identifying the right skills for plugging technical gaps."
"The UK's ambition to become a global hub for AI innovation will hinge on whether organizations have the right skills to make that happen."
