Docebo Inc. (Nasdaq: DCBO; TSX: DCBO), a leading AI workforce readiness platform that connects skills intelligence, learning execution, and measurable outcomes, has announced the release of The AI Readiness Gap: The 2026 Enterprise Learning Wake Up Call.
The report highlights that while most organizations have invested in introducing AI tools, the vast majority of employees are underequipped to use these tools due to a lack of training.
As indicated in the report, 85% of employees say the training they receive does not help them use AI in their role. This is despite AI literacy and applied skills ranking as the top priority for both employees and learning leaders over the next 12 to 18 months.
Nearly 60% feel their organization’s learning programs are not designed with people like them in mind, and 1 in 5 have not received any AI training at all.
“AI adoption is no longer the question. Nearly every organization we surveyed has it running somewhere,” said Alessio Artuffo, CEO of Docebo. “The question is whether people can actually use it to change how work gets done. Right now, most can’t, and that gap is the defining challenge for enterprises in 2026.”
The barriers run deeper than content:
- 79% of employees say the learning they received is not fully personalized, and 63% of learning leaders agree they are falling short on delivering personalized learning. Despite this, only 42% plan to use AI to fix this gap.
- More than half of learners report not having enough time during the day to complete learning, while almost two-thirds of learning leaders struggle to find time to deliver it.
- 79% of learning leaders already use AI for tasks like content generation, assessments, and recommendations, yet only 9% say their organizations have used AI to fully redefine their workflows.
- Less than a quarter of organizations report that learning is fully aligned with business strategy.
