“That’s what we’re seeing — that recognition that these new technologies that are coming out…and they’re kind of the future, and people have to figure out what this technology can do for them and their job, no matter what their job is.
“We participated in a study…around wages associated with AI skills, and what we found was just an incredible uplift in wage premiums for people in any role that have AI skills, or those who can demonstrate AI skills, including like above 30% wage premiums, even for people in HR, marketing, finance, stuff like that. And so, because of those roles, having such a high premium placed on having AI skills, people are realizing across the board that they need an understanding of the technology and a literacy around AI to be successful, no matter their role.”
What are the AI-related skills companies are seeking right now, and will those also change in the future? “Yes. So the big ones are around machine learning engineers. We also came out with an associate-level technical certification for machine learning engineers last year, because that one is a big high-growth area, as well as data specialists. So, people who know how to architect the data environments and who know how to structure the data all the way through to people who know how to use it, like business analysts to effectively leverage [business intelligence] tools. And, then also software engineers who understand AI and who can build applications that leverage the AI underlying the application. Those are some of the highest growth technical roles. And who knows for how long?
