Data presented by Altlndex has shown that AI and machine learning specialists are expected to become the fastest-growing jobs globally by 2027.
This results from the surging demand for automation and optimization across industries, increasing use of AI in consumer-facing applications, and growing investments in AI research, which have greatly impacted the global economy, changing how companies work and communicate with their customers.
“The use of AI has impacted the job market, turning AI jobs into one of the most popular options,” the data indicated.
With 75% of companies looking to adopt big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence in the next four years, it’s no wonder these technologies continue to have a significant impact on the job market.
However, artificial intelligence and generative AI received particular attention last year, with job losses headlines and claims that almost 20% of the workforce could have over 50% of their tasks automated by AI in the following years. Despite that, AI jobs have become one of the top choices for growing a career in the following years.
According to the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report, AI and machine learning specialists are expected to become the fastest-growing jobs by 2027, growing much stronger than any other career option. Statistics show these jobs are predicted to grow by 40% by 2027, leading to more than one million new specialists on the market.
The surging need for a greener future has made sustainability specialists the second fastest-growing job in the next four years. The report also showed analytical skills, in general, will be useful, whether as a business intelligence, information security, or data analyst, with workers specialized in these jobs all ranking on the top of the list. According to WEF predictions, training to become a FinTech or robotics engineer would also be a good option for those looking for job security in the future.
