Artificial Intelligence is the future. But here there's difficulty in hiring and retaining talent

TVI Notícias29 August 2026 at 14:19

Artificial intelligence has become part of everyone's daily life, but Portugal faces a significant shortage of qualified professionals in this area. Portuguese companies report difficulties in hiring workers with artificial intelligence skills, which represents an obstacle to the country's technological development.

The problem is not limited to hiring. The number of students who choose to specialize in artificial intelligence is insufficient to meet market needs. This gap in training new professionals worsens the talent shortage situation in the field.

Beyond the hiring difficulties, Portuguese companies face another challenge: retaining young talent. Many qualified professionals in artificial intelligence do not stay in Portugal, seeking opportunities in other countries where conditions may be more attractive.
