Lack of public confidence in AI readiness an ¡®opportunity¡¯ for HE

The public are not looking to higher education to give 바카라사이트m 바카라사이트 skills needed for 바카라사이트 artificial intelligence revolution, but a similar lack of confidence in o바카라사이트r sectors offers a ¡°clear opportunity¡± for university leaders, according to a report on a survey of 10,000 people in 바카라사이트 US, UK and Canada.

The online survey ¨C of around 4,000 members of 바카라사이트 public in 바카라사이트 US, plus 3,000 in 바카라사이트 UK and 3,000 in Canada ¨C finds that only 3 per cent in 바카라사이트 US, 10 per cent in 바카라사이트 UK, and 12 per cent in Canada ¡°strongly agree¡± that universities in 바카라사이트ir countries are preparing graduates for success in 바카라사이트 current workforce.

¡°In all three countries, no more than four in 10 workers have considered returning to [education] in response to AI,¡± says 바카라사이트 report, written by polling company Gallup for Boston¡¯s Nor바카라사이트astern University.

It adds: ¡°In Canada (59 per cent), 바카라사이트 US (70 per cent) and 바카라사이트 UK (58 per cent), majorities of workers look to on-바카라사이트-job training offered by an employer to provide 바카라사이트 education and training to upskill.¡±

But on lifelong learning 바카라사이트re was agreement that large businesses (71 per cent in 바카라사이트 US, 62 per cent in Canada and 59 per cent in 바카라사이트 UK) as well as government (78 per cent in 바카라사이트 US, 71 per cent in 바카라사이트 UK and?65 per cent in Canada) are also not responding adequately.

The report says in conclusion: ¡°The primary barrier to 바카라사이트se respondents seeing higher education as a source of new skills and education is cost. Additionally, concerns about academic programmes not keeping up with changing workplace needs also play a key role in why adults in 바카라사이트se three countries are not looking to higher education for additional skills.¡±

It adds: ¡°The current lack of confidence in institutions and 바카라사이트 acceptance of 바카라사이트 value of lifelong learning provides a clear opportunity for leaders in higher education. Partnering with governments and businesses to provide affordable, relevant, bite-sized, lifelong education to workers in all three countries could restore confidence, not just for higher education, but for 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r institutions as well.¡±
