- Google’s report reveals worrying adoption gaps among the United Kingdom workers
- The Government must “guarantee the training of AI” for these workers.
- Allow the workforce to adopt AI effectively represent half of economic growth
A new Google report has affirmed that the United Kingdom could double its adoption of artificial intelligence, resulting in a promoted productivity and an estimated one of £ 400 billion in economic growth.
The company’s latest report of the company plays the role of human workers in the successful deployment of AI: the effective adoption of the workforce could represent £ 200 billion or half of the profits.
However, as is currently, two out of three workers in the United Kingdom have never used generative work, a trend that is more prominent among the “older women of the lowest socioeconomic origins.”
Effective adoption
Google’s report focuses on accessibility concerns surrounding artificial intelligence. It is said that women over 55 are four times less likely to use than men under 35, reveals the report.
However, not everything must lose hope, with the technological giant spelling a handful of key considerations that companies can explore to boost adoption among all workers.
The main advice is that workers need “permission to request: to give explicit permission to workers to use AI and establish clear policies of AI will help them understand that the advantages of AI are legitimate, fair and comparable to other Internet -based tools.
Google also pointed out that AI habits are easy to form, revealing that only a few hours of training can double the daily use of AI, which is still high several months after that initial lesson. Consequently, this training of habits leads to greater exploration and encourages continuous learning.
Naturally, the report also explores how AI can save workers time, an average of 122 hours per year in all sectors, according to figures, which exceeds the most modeled 100 hours estimate.
Finally, Google says that supporting workers with sock efforts can help reduce adoption gaps.
“We want these pilots to encourage more leaders to act now and take this opportunity to equip everyone with the necessary skills to unlock economic growth and change ways of working for better,” said Emea president of Google, Debbie Weinstein.
Google has also urged the United Kingdom government to “guarantee the training of AI for all public sector workers.”
Peter Kyle, Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, committed to supporting the United Kingdom’s workforce: “We will support workers to develop the skills they need for jobs and with AI, so that all parts of society can benefit from this technology.”
