That Artificial intelligence was chosen as ‘the word of the year 2022’ by the Fundación del Español Urgente is not the result of chance. The unprecedented evolution that is being experienced within digitization and its application to the Spanish business fabric is leading to concepts such as AI or the metaverse becoming part of the day-to-day life of small, medium and large companies.
The internal structure is revolutionized, and with it the demand for personnel. Now they are wanted highly skilled workers and with demonstrable knowledge of these changes. This is stated in the InfoJobs Job Market Insights tool. During 2022, job offers related to AI increased by 31% compared to the previous year, which meant the existence of 1,500 job offers of this type in Spain.
However, the situation should not cause concern among workers, since the rise of AI It will never mean the substitution of human talent. And it is that, as he argues Monica Perez (Director of Communication and Studies at InfoJobs), the positions will be able to evolve and although some will disappear, others will be created around this new concept.
The most demanded profiles
Analyze the most sought after jobs during 2022, within the field of AI is to see that they all have a common factor: a high qualification in technological and AI matters. Thus, the first three were: Artificial Intelligence Engineer, Annotation Analyst and AI Labeler.
These were followed by others in the ranking of AI jobs such as: AI Data Scientist, Artificial Intelligence Researcher, Machine Vision Programmer, Lead AI Programmer, Artificial Intelligence Doctor, Machine Vision Technician, and Artificial Intelligence Consultant.
The expansion of the AI phenomenon supposes the creation of new disciplines such as Machine Learning, that is, a series of teams capable of combining technical programming with knowledge in philology and linguistics. For all these reasons, in addition to looking for staff with extensive technological skills, they will be asked to have humanistic knowledge (such as education, law or philosophy).
And it is that the objective is to make AI machines, such as the revolutionary OpenAI ChatGPT, a tool with critical thinking and ethical and human perspective. This could lead to profiles, apparently far removed from this sector, ending up as lawyers and legal experts, who will be in charge of classifying documents or even legal advisors for applied artificial intelligence services; Privacy Policy Manager AI.
The impact of AI on GDP
In the midst of a generalized recession, AI could be the saving engine of the Spanish economy, generating very positive effects and very optimistic forecasts for 2025. Thus, it is expected to have a impact of 16,500 million euros on Spanish GDP in just two years.
These data provided by India (Association for the application of artificial intelligence) are based on the evolution experienced by the country in the construction of a solid broadband, fiber and 5G connection infrastructure, even higher than in other countries of the European Union. It is true that large companies from powerful sectors such as banking or energy have joined the application of AI, but there is still room for SMEs to bet on this revolutionary technology model.
AI is a tool of power and sovereigntyin such a way that its adaptation to the industrial sector will prevent it from continuing to depend on other large world economies.
In order for AI to progress to unsuspected limits, it is very important to attract talent and train staff in this new knowledge, signing an alliance between companies and public administrations. It is anticipated that over the next three years, more than 90,000 professionals who are experts in data and artificial intelligence to boost the Spanish economy.
In fact, there is currently a demand for professionals in this sense, as there are more than 300 positions available in Madrid, according to data from LinkedIN. All this shows us that artificial intelligence is not the future, but the present, and that we must adapt to it and embrace it for the economic evolution of the country.
