Report: 95% of execs say hiring professionals trained in AI is difficult

In line with "The Great Resignation" that's swept the U.S., a new report from information-based analytics provider RELX found that 95% of respondents view hiring and retaining AI talent as a challenge. What may be the most surprising takeaway, however, regards a perceived disconnect between AI ethics and productivity. The majority of respondents (90%) believe ethical standards in the development and use of emerging technologies can represent a competitive advantage for businesses. Those in the banking industry were most likely to feel this way (95%). About two-thirds (64%) of senior executives, however, have identified existing bias in AI technologies used by their company.
