AI, as we see today, is not as expected as it was expected to be, when it was
                  first conceived by John McCarthy at Dartmouth College during his first speech.
                  Research  predicts  that  AI could  create  38.2  million  net  new  jobs  across  the
                  global economy, providing opportunities for more skilled workers as part of this
                  transition.




                              82% of global companies are either using or exploring
                                        the use of AI in their organisation.



                  Skills to get a Job in AI Related Fields

                  As you know that every organisation wants skilled employees. To be an employee in the AI field, you
                  must have some specific skills. Let us discuss about some of them in detail.

                  Soft Skills

                  It is said that AI can replace hard-skilled employees and employees with greater soft skills will
                  always remain in demand. Empathy, leadership, collaboration, creativity are some key skills that will
                  always be in demand.
                     Data Literacy Skills: It is said that ‘There is no good AI without good data’. AI analysis can be
                     biased if the data source is not reliable. Employees with strong data literacy (i.e. the ability to
                     understand, interpret and analyse data effectively) can recognise the wrong patterns which will
                     be useful for AI training.
                     Collaboration Skills: Organisations expect their employees to work in a collaborative manner.
                     For  example  departments  like Design  and  Marketing  need  to  collaborate  with  each  other  to
                     improve the user experience and develop machines accordingly.

                     Critical Thinking Skills: The ability to think critically will be more important for employees, as
                     such people will come up with innovative ideas, solve complex problems using logic and reasoning.
                      Leadership Skills: The workplace in future will have project-based teams, remote teams with
                     flexible structure unlike present day hierarchical structure. So, individuals will need traits like
                     being inspiring, helpful and the best versions of themselves to be better leaders.

                     Adaptability Skills: With fast changing scenarios, specially the advancement taking place in the
                     field of AI, employees with the ability of flexibility and adaptation will be much more at peace and
                     will take these developments as an opportunity to grow.
                  Technical Skills

                  Technical  skills  are  the  abilities  or  knowledge  used  for  practical  tasks  in  the  fields  of  science,
                  technology, engineering, etc. Following are some of the technical skills required in the field of AI:
                     Programming Languages: In the field of AI, one must know how to work with programming
                     languages which is essential in order to design various machines. Java, C, C++, R, Python, etc. are
                     examples of such languages.
