There is a great demand for professionals who understand how AI works in general and who can help companies and individuals apply AI technologies for the benefit of businesses and society. While AI is quickly creating large numbers of new jobs, the biggest challenge is having enough qualified employees to fill these positions.
Annual demand for the fast-growing new roles in the field of Artificial Intelligence is estimated to reach nearly 700,000 openings by 2020. However, at the current pace, the available fresh employable talent or university talent in the field of AI will be only be around 90,000., resulting in a huge skill gap in this all-important field.
Career prospects/roles include Deep Learning & Computer Vision Engineers, Machine Learning Engineers, Data Scientists, Data Analysts, Data Engineers, AI / Deep Learning Scientists and Data Science Instructors.
There is therefore a tremendous opportunity to introduce Artificial Intelligence Training in a more broad-based manner within the education system in our universities to fill this the huge existing void and future requirements.
