The agency argues that 54 per cent of 16-74 year olds lack basic digital skills

An Italian government agency has set aside €30 million to improve the job skills of the unemployed, and those most at risk from the advancement of artificial intelligence.

A wide range of jobs could come under threat from automation, including transport and logistics, office support and administration, production, services and the retail sector.

The Fondo per la Repubblica Digitale agency argues that 54 per cent of 16-74 year olds lack basic digital skills, which is higher than the average across the European Union.

The spread of A.I. and automation has attracted attention from lawmakers and regulators in several countries.

The ChatGPT chatbot was unavailable in Italy for around four weeks until its maker, OpenAI, addressed issues raised by Italy’s data protection authority in late April.

While the fate of TikTok remains uncertain in the U.S.—there is no shortage of possibilities.

Several investors are hoping to benefit from a new federal law that requires TikTok’s China-based parent company to sell the popular platform or face a ban.

This comes after ByteDance and TikTok filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government to block the law from going into effect.

Meanwhile, eight TikTok creators filed their own challenge, arguing the law violates their First Amendment rights to free speech.

But as the saga continues many media outlets are defending the platform.
