Closing New Zealand’s AI Skills Gap: How Businesses Can Overcome Talent Shortages and Thrive with AI

Recent research has shed light on a crucial aspect of AI adoption in New Zealand: the AI skills gap. While both employers and workers demonstrate eagerness to integrate AI into the workplace, a significant barrier persists—the shortage of AI-skilled talent. According to findings, hiring AI-skilled professionals remains a top priority for nearly two-thirds of employers surveyed. However, a staggering 70% express difficulty in finding the talent they require to propel their AI initiatives forward.

Moreover, despite a keen interest in AI applications, a striking 80% of employers admit to a lack of knowledge regarding the implementation of AI workforce training programs. This highlights a pressing need for comprehensive AI education and training initiatives tailored to the unique needs of New Zealand businesses.
