From Data Literacy to AI Literacy<\/strong><\/p>\n

While AI technology is evolving rapidly, data literacy remains the cornerstone of business success.

The research reveals that 36% of companies face a lack of innovation, and 31% experience declining productivity\u2014both directly linked to poor data literacy. These challenges put companies at a disadvantage in a fiercely competitive market.<\/p>\n

The demand for data talent far exceeds supply. In a bid to attract top talent, 72% of business leaders are willing to offer higher salaries to data professionals, with 40% willing to pay a premium of over 20%. While AI talent is also highly sought after, slightly fewer leaders are willing to offer premium salaries\u2014but those who do typically offer even higher compensation.<\/p>\n
