AI’s been the backstage VIP of tech evolution for years, but the last six months? Well, they’ve catapulted AI to the main stage, heralding a seismic shift in the way we work.

Timo Lehne, SThree CEO, drops a truth bomb:

“AI and automation are causing a lot of excitement and nervousness about their impact on the global workforce. Public discourse shows a seesaw of acceptance and anxiety.
