Biggest AI Challenges - Shortage of AI Talent

There is a huge gap between AI skills right now and it can have a negative impact on businesses that want to develop in-house AI marketing solutions. The problem is expected to worsen as the number of AI companies and job opportunities increase. With rapid rate changes and fewer barriers to access, talented individuals are becoming harder and harder to come by.

Therefore, to meet this challenge, organizations will need to establish relationships with universities and trade schools. This will enable them to engage in a variety of learning projects, engage more through mentoring, and tap into the emerging talent at an early stage before entering the field.

Organizations can also go for internal training and development which is an effective alternative to external staff efforts. For example, individuals with strong backgrounds in math, statistics, and engineering will make excellent choices to work with machine learning.

And many companies are already equipped with enough talents that are experts in B2B Marketing, fully qualifying them for the role. And organizations that lack existing talent or do not have the ability to transform existing employees into new AI-related roles can also hire soft skills trainers and train for the rest.
