Artificial intelligence is changing the way of living, remodeling and redefining the work-force industry, and skills needed for upgrading and achievement in job sectors with the help of advancement of AI, which is adding benefits in many domains such as healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and even creative industries are transforming dramatically. AI has come up with many new opportunities and is transforming traditional roles across industries. This era is known as the birth of automation and robotics, where human interaction was enhanced, complemented, improved, and even replaced or reduced by the invention of intelligent technologies.
AI has its own pros and cons
New research in 2024 reveals significant shifts in career paths and major skills propelled by the rise of artificial intelligence.
According to the recent work Trend Index by Microsoft and LinkedIn, 75% of knowledge workers are leveraging AI, primarily to optimize their work efficiency and foster creativity. However, the absence of training programs in an organized manner in organizations has inspired employees to engage in self-directed learning and adopt ‘Bring Your Own’ practices, often at the expense of data security.
Remarkably, while 66% of companies favor candidates with AI skills, only 39% offer AI training, highlighting a significant gap in workforce preparedness for AI integration. A recent publication by the World Economic Forum, “The Future of Jobs Report 2023,” discusses that intense transformation of the workplace due to AI. It addresses both the displacement of jobs and the emergence of new ones, stressing the importance for workers to cultivate “future-proof” skills such as critical thinking, creativity, and adaptability to stay competitive in the changing job landscape.
To round it off, artificial intelligence is a fact that world populace has to stay with, though human-intervention at the moment is a must in AI use.
