How AI & Automation Are Revolutionising The UK Tech Industry in 2024
In 2024, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automation are accelerating changes in the UK’s tech landscape, driving innovation, efficiency and growth across numerous industries. AI is no longer a distant concept; It’s woven into the fabric of today’s enterprises, from healthcare to finance, manufacturing and beyond.
Businesses are realising the power of AI to tackle labour shortages, improve productivity and make smarter, data-driven decisions and with this new wave of AI adoption, automation is helping to optimise everything from IT processes to customer service, enabling businesses to reduce manual tasks and focus on strategic growth. At fluo , we’ve embraced these advancements, integrating them into our operations and services to provide cutting-edge solutions for our clients.
AI’s Impact on the UK Tech Industry In 2024
The global AI market is projected to reach an astounding £232 billion by the end of 2024, growing at an annual rate of 37%. This growth highlights AI’s increasing role in revolutionising industries, and in the UK, it’s transforming sectors from healthcare to finance. We see AI as a key enabler, helping businesses unlock new opportunities and thrive in a competitive digital world. By incorporating AI into our solutions, we’re offering our clients a pathway to greater efficiency and innovation.
As AI continues to evolve, more than 40% of UK business leaders have reported productivity gains through automation. At fluo , automation has become integral to how we work, streamlining processes and freeing up our team to focus on more creative, strategic tasks. Whether it’s automating routine IT tasks or using AI to provide predictive insights, our clients benefit from faster project delivery and more innovative outcomes.
Creating Opportunities, Not Replacing Jobs
AI in 2024 is not only improving productivity but also creating vast job opportunities. By 2030, AI is expected to create 133 million new jobs globally, particularly in fields such as data science and machine learning. These emerging roles require specialised skills that are in increasingly high demand, especially in the UK, where companies are actively seeking professionals who can navigate the complexities of AI technologies. In fact, many industries are reshaping their workforce to accommodate AI’s growing influence, leading to a surge in tech training and reskilling programs.
At fluo , we’re also adopting these technologies and are committed to upskilling our team, ensuring they remain equipped with the latest AI competencies, allowing us to stay at the forefront of technological innovation and continue delivering exceptional results for our clients.
By investing in AI skills, we’re preparing both our team and our clients to thrive in this exciting, evolving digital landscape.
Boosting The UK Economy With AI
AI is set to contribute over £15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030, with the UK expected to experience significant economic growth driven by AI technologies. Industries such as healthcare, manufacturing and finance will particularly benefit from AI’s ability to streamline operations and enhance productivity. For us this means guiding our clients through the economic shift and helping them to capitalise on AI’s potential to improve operations, drive growth, all while staying competitive.
Leading The AI Revolution
At fluo , AI and automation aren’t just trends – they are the future of how we operate. We see AI as a tool for both innovation and transformation as it allows us to not only deliver advanced tech solutions, but also anticipate the evolving needs of our clients in an ever-changing market. As we continue to adopt and refine AI technologies, we’re dedicated to helping our clients unlock the full potential of AI to enhance their businesses and succeed in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
