🌍 As global talent adapts to the role of AI in the workplace, inequitable access to the technology and to skilling opportunities is widening the gap between older and younger generations. Since just 1 in 3 baby boomers and 44% of Gen X believe AI can make their work easier, we also see older generations of talent having less chance to develop their AI skills.
