Emerging job market for artificial intelligence (AI)


Artificial intelligence (AI) professionals are engineers who design, develop and implement smart systems that help devices to take decisions and work accurately with or without human intervention. AI programs or tools carry out enormous computing power useful in working unmanned.
Organizations utilize the services of AI professionals for streamlining, speeding up, and simplifying their operations, and some others need them to serve clients. Thanks to the increasing demand for AI professionals, the jobs are considerably lucrative, also given that this field is one of the toughest ICT areas to master. The essential skill recruiters look for include the following:
  •          knowledge in statistics, especially in probabilities
  •    Advanced knowledge of machine learning principles, algorithms, and techniques, such as decision trees, neural networks, Naïve Bayes, etc…
  •          Data science tools, such as MatLab and Python
  •          Data preparation techniques and tools to convert raw data into any other format.
  •          Natural language processing libraries
  •          Programming language including python,  R, etc…
  •          Reporting techniques and data visualization tools, such as GGplot and D3.js

The AI job market is not one that can be easily predicted. It is a continuously developed market that depends principally on scientific research and real-life needs and demands.

Professionals in this field work with multidisciplinary teams containing designers, software engineers, technical and functional consultant, and testing teams that evaluate the potential of the delivered AI systems.

Job Roles for AI Professionals
