📊 Whoa! Gartner is forecasting a 6.8% increase in global IT spending for 2024, totalling $5 trillion - and we're excited by what this could mean for the job market. IT services are set to surpass communications services spending for the first time, with an 8.7% growth, reaching $1.5 trillion. Despite the significant hype around generative AI (GenAI), it won't have a major impact on IT spending in the near term. According to a Gartner Analyst, "2024 will be the year when organisations actually invest in planning for how to use GenAI." Check out the table below, which compares 2023 spend (in USD) against the 2024 forecast. More details here: https://lnkd.in/d5vYDueq #TechnologyTrends #TechnologyForecast #TechCareers

Trust is central to society’s ability to harness the benefits of Artificial Intelligence. That’s why Workday was proud to be a sponsor of last year’s AI Fringe, which ran at the British Library from 30th October to 3rd November and encompassed many other regional events held around the UK. The Fringe enabled a wide-ranging set of conversations which complemented, but went beyond the discussion on Frontier AI at the Global AI Safety Summit held at Bletchley Park that same week. By bringing together representatives from industry, academic and civil society, the Fringe provided a platform for all communities – including those historically underrepresented – to come together and gain an enhanced understanding of AI and its impacts. As part of our contribution to the event, Workday hosted a session under the title “Lifting the lid on AI in the Workplace”, at which our panellists discussed how AI can drive transformation in the field of Human Capital Management, the skills that the CxO suite needs to navigate the AI landscape, the need for AI to reflect the challenges that people from non-traditional backgrounds face in their careers in tech and more broadly, the challenges and opportunities of embracing AI. The Fringe Partners have published “Perspective from the AI Fringe”, a digest of the themes discussed last autumn, which is designed to help decision makers and policymakers as they grapple with AI-related questions and challenges, from bias and discrimination, data protection and privacy to AI skills and training. Workday is committed to building a regulatory environment for AI that builds trust and which allows our customers and their employees to take advantage of the many business opportunities that it offers. #TeamWDAY

"The nature of work itself has changed, impacted not only by where and how work is conducted, with remote and hybrid work models on the rise, but also by huge advances in technology. While work will pivot more toward using technologies like #generativeAI, there will also be a pivot toward the “value from people being more about that ‘higher order’ of critical thinking.” Our Executive Vice President John Bird writes for Greenbook with a #MarketResearch perspective on the World Economic Forum Future of Jobs Report: https://lnkd.in/gm_JrxRk #FutureofWork #AI #HybridWork #MRX #Insights
