Nearly 50 per cent of employees in Ireland say they have been expected to use new technology “which they haven’t been trained on”.
A survey by consulting group Accenture has suggested that although artificial intelligence (AI) was rapidly becoming a part of everyday work, most businesses here were still at an early stage of adoption.
It also found that employees were moving faster in adopting AI than their organisations were.
“Without targeted investment in skills, workflow redesign and stronger core systems, Ireland could struggle to fully realise the productivity and growth benefits of AI,” it said.
According to the survey, 47 per cent of employees reported being expected to use new technology without adequate training. Almost two in five (39 per cent) here felt unprepared to work alongside AI tools or systems in their field.
