Future jobs | Half of UK staff think AI will future-proof their careers, but very few have had the training

Almost half of workers (48%) believe AI will improve their career and promotion prospects.

This number far outstrips fears of using the technology, according to Randstad's latest Workmonitor Pulse, based on insights from job postings and the views of over 1,500 employees around the country. A further 47% see AI as making an impact on their industries and roles.

However, a mere 7% of UK employees have been offered any AI training in the last year. This is despite one in four (24%) employees saying they already use AI within their day to day roles.
