| Summary: | Digitalisation and mainly artificial intelligence led to significant disruptions at all levels of
society, changing how we live, communicate, build communities, work, and learn. In
addition, digital technologies offer solutions to achieve sustainable development goals.
Therefore, to benefit from this potential, it is vital to understand the skill needs associated
with sustainable digitalisation. The impact of digitisation on the labour market is largely
documented, but there are still important debates on what future jobs will look like. On the
one hand, some scenarios announce massive shifts and destruction of jobs with rhythms
that cannot be managed well by societies, while others point instead to transformations of
skills needs. Therefore, our article aims to investigate the links between digitalisation and
skills needs among digitalised enterprises, focussing on those implementing artificial
intelligence solutions. In this respect, we use various multivariate techniques to analyse the
data made public for the Flash Eurobarometer 486 (2020). Our findings suggest that
digitalisation leads to skills shortages and skill gaps among companies adopting different
digital solutions. In other words, digitalisation requires more workers with better digital
skills |
