61 percent of respondents in the Bitkom study said they would like to be undergo training in AI. Meanwhile, only 51 percent of companies offer such training to some employees, and a mere 21 percent to all or most employees.
68 percent of companies are convinced that demand will grow in years to come for specialists in generative AI, creating a gap in the market.
“Generative AI can already increase workplace productivity, be it by summarizing a text, formulating an email or serving as a sparring partner to develop ideas,” said Bitkom President Ralf Wintergerst in a statement. “In the years to come we will need more AI expertise in business and administration. Companies would be well-advised to start reacting today to the heightened demand for more AI expertise with training programs.”
