The rapid advancement of AI technologies has created an urgent need for professionals who possess these specialized skills, pushing IT leaders to rethink their approaches. According to a recent article from CIO Online, “IT leaders rethink talent strategies to cope with AI skills crunch”, industry leaders like John Napoli of Guardian Life and Orla Daly of Skillsoft are leveraging a combination of hiring, upskilling, and innovative training programs to build robust AI teams.
