You may be forgiven to think that in today’s modern world, the reincarnation of the devil is likely to manifest itself through technology. Indeed, the treacherous power that technology bestows upon those who control it can be alarmingly dangerous. It gives access to terabytes of data, knowledge, and information (Big Data) that can be analysed by sophisticated algorithms (AI), and which can in turn be used to influence people’s attitudes and behaviours. What more can the devil want? The Cambridge Analytica scandal is still fresh in our minds.

Despite a forecasted recession, it’s clear that last year’s drought of talent will continue to frustrate UK employers’ attempts to expand or fill critical skills gaps in their workforce over the course of 2023. With unemployment rates at historic lows of 3.7% and job vacancies still at historic highs, the UK’s problematic labour market is here to stay.

Building and growing a tech startup has never been easy. The struggles of building a great team, raising finance, scaling revenue, controlling costs, and expanding operations are well documented. These hurdles are all the more intimidating against the backdrop of big tech layoffs, rising costs, recessionary pressures influencing consumer behaviour and cutbacks. Yet, the speed of tech development continues at pace as we have seen with the ground breaking capabilities of generative AI.
