Artificial intelligence, also known as AI, is one of the most disruptive technologies currently entering the scene, especially in the AI job market.
ChatGPT has recently made it popular with the general population, but this tech has also been changing the business world as well.
There will be some significant impacts on the job market, but not in the doomsday-style way of mass layoffs that many people are expecting.
Eighty-five million jobs will indeed be displaced as AI grows more integrated with our business processes.
However, 97 million new roles will rise up in its place, although with a new range of desired skill sets.
There are a variety of fast-growing new jobs thanks to the influence of AI.
Data scientist roles are the fastest growing. Software developers, computer and information research scientists, and general computer and information technology follow them.
To excel in these jobs, applicants must have a working knowledge of AI technology.
This includes natural language processing (NLP), algorithm development, and machine learning.
Many of these skills can be learned by pursuing computer science and data science degrees.
Where are the AI Jobs?
The United States is leading the world in the adoption of this technology.
The US currently boasts the most AI-related job postings out of all the countries in the world, at over 75,000.
They are followed very distantly by India and Japan. They also have the most significant number of AI jobs; 173,000 are currently available.
India and the United Kingdom are the countries in second and third place but are also far behind.
The United States’ very adaptive approach to AI is not shared equally by all 50 states.
However, in each, at least 1.5% of all current job openings are related to AI. California and Texas have the most openings out of all the states.
Conclusion
