Exclusively for FT colleagues

If you’ve heard that Artificial Intelligence will revolutionise the way we work, but you’re in the dark as to how, you’re not alone. To effectively adopt these tools into workflows, not only must you know where they can unlock productivity in your role, but you’ll also need to find the time to learn how to use them. In fact almost half of our employees believe they lack the necessary time to upskill.

The FT’s Global AI Immersion Week laid the foundations to resolve this disconnect.
