2 min read

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping the professional landscape, introducing transformative advancements in various sectors such as finance, IT, sales, and marketing. As AI continues to revolutionise industries, the demand for skilled professionals is escalating.

The Current Educational Landscape

The survey revealed a significant gap in the availability of AI education resources for educators, with 69% expressing a need for more teaching materials and training programs. Despite this, over 60% of teachers recognised the importance of AI skills for students' future careers.

Addressing the Talent Gap

While AI skills are in high demand, research indicates that three-quarters of employers prioritising AI-skilled talent struggle to find suitable candidates. Bridging this gap involves equipping students and working professionals with foundational AI skills, preparing them for a tech-enabled workforce and diverse career opportunities.

Victor Reinoso, Global Director of Education Philanthropy at Amazon, emphasises the urgency, stating:

AI is the world’s fastest-growing technology, yet only 24% of surveyed education institutions incorporate AI skills training into their curriculum. Now is the time to inspire students through career exploration.

Here are the top five predictions for AI-enabled careers:
