The consultant, Robert Walters, has carried out a survey in which he collects the employment prospects of professionals in the face of the disruption of artificial intelligence.
“Managerial and executive professionals with highly specialized skills and extensive business experience have in-depth knowledge of the fields in which they excel. All this has prevented propagate a vague concern towards AI among these profiles”details Carmen Rodríguez, Senior Manager in the Technology division of Robert Walters.
Desire to learn from professionals
According to a survey, 98% of professionals affirm that their objective is to anticipate the irruption of AI by improving their skills and abilities. On the other hand, 39% believe that there will be a time when AI will take care of your work.
Among these answers, it is observed that even the professionals who feel that their work can be taken over by artificial intelligence (39%), show a proactive stance when it comes to looking for the areas in which AI does not excel, where ultimately, the human being can provide a high added value.
“AI research and development is a constant and many companies are working to develop and introduce practical applications of AI seeing technology as the engine of business growth.”, declares Carmen.
While many companies in a wide variety of industries are competing for specialists in artificial intelligence and data science in their teams, there is still no balance with the number of professionals who possess the necessary skills and experience. This phenomenon is fueling fierce competition in hiring.
In the field of technology, it is essential to focus on professional profiles that have the ability to feel the change and a desire to learn and update their skills, and who also have skills and experience that can be used on the job, even if they do not yet have professional experience.
To attract AI specialists who are in short supply globally, it is essential to offer a competitive salary, although it is increasingly important that the project itself be attractive. Candidates take a hard look at whether the company has a clear vision for how it wants to leverage AI technology.
“LTechnology and artificial intelligence have come to make processes more efficient, fast and productive. This does not mean that most jobs will disappear, but rather that they will become more strategic, so professionals will have to adapt, since there are human skills that technology can never replace.” concludes Carmen Rodríguez.
