Ai, micro-enterprises lag behind on training: only 4% provide it
According to a study by Made and Politecnico di Milano, 43% of smaller companies believe that AI will not have a significant impact on their business in the short term.
A study by MADE – Competence Center Industria 4.0 di Milano and the Politecnico di Milano's Osservatorio Innovazione Digitale nelle PMI found that only 4% of small and micro enterprises in Italy have started structured training programs on Artificial Intelligence. This percentage increases with company size, reaching 6% for small enterprises and 20% for medium-sized enterprises.
The main reasons for this delay include the belief that AI will not have a significant impact on their business in the short term, and a lack of awareness about the necessary skills to face digital transformation. According to Marta Rispoli, responsible for orientation and training at MADE, training plays a central role in digital transformation, and companies need to develop a structured approach to understanding their skill needs and applying them in business processes.
