Artificial intelligence skills require demand – and employers are ready to pay a premium

The concept of artificial intelligence technology with AI text on the electronic circuit board.

While there Fears of installation This artificial intelligence replaces jobs, it is not all the bad news of the labor market, especially for workers who have artificial intelligence skills.

Instead of replacing roles with AI, many companies employ workers who can benefit from artificial intelligence, I found a new study published in July.

In an analysis of more than a billion jobs, the LightCast Lightcast platform for employment is not only for the high demand for artificial intelligence skills, as well as the average medium wage for the jobs it requires.

“The job leaflets are increasingly tightening the skills of artificial intelligence and there are indications that employers are ready to pay the salaries of installments for them.”

The jobs that mentioned the skill of Amnesty International were announced at least 28 % higher salaries on average of those that were included, which represented about $ 18,000 a year. For those who have at least two skills of artificial intelligence, the premium was 43 % higher.

The study also noted three fields of greater premium: customer and customer support, sales, manufacturing and production.

Joshua Woo, founder of Recruit Fast, a Singapore Employment Agency, presented a similar note that “artificial intelligence skills are paying higher than average in this market.”

He added that they are no longer nice, “They are discrimination.”

Ease

The LightCast report has identified more than 300 skills of artificial intelligence ranging from artificial intelligence ethics and ai -tools to machine learning.

The study also found that different functional fields require different skills in artificial intelligence. For example, the roles in transportation are likely to require self -command skills, while maintenance sites have given the priority of robotics capabilities.

Although many artificial intelligence skills require high technical experience, most of them are in the most common menu often in general completely, such as efficiency in using Chatgpt or Microsoft Copilot.

These basic skills have become more prevalent and accessible in the labor market, according to Bridget Wong, the head of humanitarian relations at Acceenture Singapore.

“While jobs like the decision -maker or LLM engineer/architectural data require deep technical experience, many operating and young employees are also provided with work effectively with operations that support artificial intelligence,” said Wong.

Thus, “there is no wrong stage in a profession to learn artificial intelligence – it is present at every level, and institutions must invest in training and exposure to empowering employees.”

Request in non -technology roles

It is worth noting that the LightCast study found that the demand for artificial intelligence skills was higher in non -technical sectors of information technology and computer science, which is usually associated with artificial intelligence.

Since 2022, the Openai Chatgpt year has launched, and the study found that the jobs that mentioned the skills of obstetric intelligence increased by 800 % for non -technical roles.

While its science and computer science still control the list of sectors that require artificial intelligence skills, marketing and public relations came second. This was followed by science and research, social analysis and planning.

“Not only is program developers or data scientists who benefit from artificial intelligence skills, it is something that people should think about everything from marketing to human resources,” said Magrini.

“Be prepared”

Magarini said that the skills of artificial intelligence “come to every functional function, to every professional region, but in different steps,” which means that everyone needs a layer of literacy, Amnesty International.

The Fast’s Woo Employment indicated that artificial intelligence skills are likely to be less important as pre -conditions in the functions of blue collar compared to other areas.

However, Magrini said, “Amnesty International is coming, but we do not need to be afraid. We need to prepare.”
