UAE employees rethink moves as AI demand rises

A significant portion of professionals in the UAE and Saudi Arabia are willing to work at a lower salary in exchange for acquiring strong Al (artificial intelligence) skills.

The pay cut is temporary and “not a sacrifice but a strategic foresight,” a global management consulting firm has pointed out.

The willingness to trade higher pay for stronger AI skills is reflected in the mid-2025 report by Oliver Wyman, a management consulting firm and a business of Marsh McLennan. The study surveyed more than 16,000 professionals across 18 countries. It revealed that two in three respondents in the UAE (67 per cent) and Saudi Arabia (70 per cent) say they would accept lower pay to secure Al training, compared to just 41 per cent worldwide.
