An Inconvenient Truth - The Entanglement of Data, AI & Sustainability Skills
Wednesday 23 April 2025
Seminar Theatre 8
According to the World Economic Forum, the top two fastest growing jobs sectors are in AI and Machine Learning and Sustainability, yet the skills gap in both of these areas is vast - Sustainability (97%) and Data & AI (85%). But, is this simply about upskilling more coding engineers and climate scientists or is this a communication and knowledge problem? The foundations of both these vastly different skill sets are built on understanding and interpretation of complex information that can be applied across roles and domains. So how do you build and develop these skills when there is a lack of lived experience and knowledge to develop these skills at scale.
