The AI Literacy Gap

86% of companies expect AI to transform their business by 2030.  88% of companies report regular AI use in at least one business function.  74% of workers use AI regularly at work, yet only 33% have received formal AI training. 55% of employees using AI at work have no training on its security and privacy risks. Up to 700,000 U.S. workers will need AI reskilling by 2027.  Sources: World Economic Forum; McKinsey & Company; Lifewire; Forbes; Bain & Company
