Advertisement 'Neither can they allow a culture of fear and distrust surrounding new technologies to gain a foothold, so reskilling people and teams across all departments to the highest standards should be an absolute top priority.' 'It is important for business leaders to establish a well-designed framework around AI in order to maximise value and mitigate risks, empowering people with the guidance and resources to innovate safely. 'Failure to do so will leave them falling behind the competition and falling behind peers who do possess the AI skills to lead the new wave of tech innovation.' Other business leaders have echoed the need to improve their employees' skills as 'AI continues to shake up traditional working models'. Libero Raspa, director of IT consultancy Adesso UK, said: '. It is here to stay, and forward-thinking businesses will lay the groundwork now to ensure staff are fully equipped to embrace and deploy it ethically and responsibility for maximum customer impact.' Experts are split on the effect AI will have on the global job market – but all are in agreement that it will, and already is, having a seismic impact. BT last year unveiled plans to slash tens of thousands of jobs by 2030 - with around 10,000 set to be replaced by technology. A survey of over 2,700 AI researchers in January meanwhile suggested AI could well be 'better and cheaper' than humans in every profession by 2116. The date forecast is nearly 50 years earlier than the same prediction made the previous year, highlighting how quickly it is improving. A report last month by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) suggested younger, lower-paid and female workers were likely to be affected first. But this would increasingly affect higher-earners, it found, with the 'worst case scenario' seeing 7.9 million jobs if the government does not act.https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-13293557/Britains-forgotten-sunken-lands-interactive-map.html?email_share_article-image-share_most-read-articlesSee inside the Titanic like NEVER before: Incredible video reveals a cross section of the doomed liner in its former glory before it sank in 1912 - as one billionaire prepares to recreate ithttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-13288299/Titanic-Incredible-video-cross-section-doomed-liner.html?email_share_article-image-share_most-read-articlesEven the boss is worried!
