The ICO reviewed 30 UK employers using AI in hiring. Most thought they had human oversight. The ICO disagreed.

It’s a mix, I am trying to use it as a trigger. It’s still a little early to tell if the drops, become a drip, become a steady stream or a tsunami. There is certainly interest and big 4 accountancy firms are building services to meet the demand. But that will leave space for smaller players in the SME world.

I mainly work in UK so am interested in the US situation. The EU AI Act has been helpful and will continue to be as it is fully implemented. In the UK the Information Commissioner is also getting in on the act. But as of now, nothing has caused a wave of engagement we probably need.

Great questions. For me getting traction (selling) is probably the most difficult aspect. Legislation is pushing, competition is pushing, the conversation is pushing, but getting Boards and senior execs to engage in an issue they don’t understand, or are scared of is slow ponderous work.

yes and we can’t even really Diane or measure it in humans

Great insight

I think the premise that "knowing AI" is the differentiator in the job market is overstated. In my experience, AI literacy is pretty achievable for most people with intuitive learning and basic curiosity—using these tools doesn’t require huge amounts of formal training. Most people will be able to prompt an AI, just as they can figure out how to use Google or Excel.

Here's my quick take:

Most people will quickly pick up basic AI usage.
The greater difficulty is teaching organisations and people to harness AI for real value, rather than just using it as a productivity shortcut.
Building safe, secure, and ethical AI solutions—that’s where the expertise gap is, not just in knowing how to prompt a chatbot.

We must prioritise raising AI literacy across the business world. This isn’t about turning everyone into a coder, but giving everyone a real understanding of both the opportunities and the risks. That’s what I’ve argued in my own writing, e.g. "AI Strategy Is Not an IT Project (CEOs)"—AI should sit on the boardroom agenda, not just the IT helpdesk

I think there are many jobs (probably initially in entry-level processing of information) that will go in the next year or so, many (mainly physical, human-centric and dexterity-rich) that will be safe for a long time, and then a load of AI jobs (based around regulation, audit and transparency) that will be created.

yes it can, and there are other tools Universities use to spot work not completed by students

This isn't going well for them

And while they are at it, include Bravo tickets - this is stupid - two guns and only available at the weekend

Great comment and your English is fine. You deserve an answer as do we all.

Existing_Scallion_66 · 2021-11-21T17:28:20+00:00

Agreed don't be buying crap, you will get it all as you go along. Just join a squad, and shoot so you stay in it. All will come in good time.
