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.
