44% of employees now use AI at work.
Only 19% have had any training.
That's not a skills gap - it's a training failure.
A new report from Digit.fyi lays out the numbers, and they're hard to ignore:
👉 99% of executives say they have an AI skills strategy
👉 Only 38% have actually funded it
👉 1 in 3 organisations haven't even assessed their team's AI readiness
👉 Just 16% offer structured internal training
Most teams are left to figure AI out alone - through YouTube videos and trial and error.
No structure. No quality control. No confidence that they're using it well.
AI tools are only as useful as the people using them. Without proper training, you get inconsistent quality, wasted time, and missed opportunities.
This is exactly why I built my AI training programmes at pollinger.ai - practical, structured, and designed for how people actually work.
Not theory. Not hype. Just the practical skills your team needs to use AI confidently and effectively.
If your organisation is in the 62% without a proper training budget, or the 84% without structured programmes, let's talk.
