How AI Is Changing Jobs: Opportunities, Tools & What You Need to Know

AI & Jobs: The Future is Now … and it’s a Wittle Bit Scawwy 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming a presence in our daily lives — and our jobs. Indeed, more and more people are looking online for AI tools, jobs in AI and what this technology could mean for their future work.

Interest in AI careers is rising — fast. Roles such as AI engineers, data scientists, machine learning developers, and prompt engineers are hot right now. These jobs include creating intelligent systems, training computers to learn from data, and solving real-world problems through AI. High salaries and good benefits are being used by many companies to attract talent in those areas.

But it’s not only technical jobs. AI is being used in applications such as health care, marketing, finance, education, design, and entertainment. Even if you’re not up for full-on coding, learning to use A.I. tools — whether they’re chatbots, image generators or apps that automate mundane tasks — could help you differentiate yourself at your current job, or make you more attractive on the job market.

Still, people have concerns. What about humans being put out of work by A.I.? But what if the decisions it makes are not fair? These are big ethical questions. Which is why there is also exploding interest in responsible AI — the use of technology in ways that are safe, fair and human friendly.

In other words, AI is not merely the future; it’s already here. And while it will/does change the specific jobs we do, it’s also opening up a whole lot of new and interesting opportunities for people willing to learn.
