AI and machine learning have potential for limitless applicability in almost every field.
With increasing automation across technologysectors, old jobs are getting redundant. There are, however, skillsets and roles that are in demand as companies adapt to the digital world. While traditional roles are turning obsolete, new opportunities exist in areas such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, 3D printing, design thinking, block chain and cloud computing, according to TeamLease Services. “Let’s ignore the doomsayers and stay the course on preparing ourselves for the future potential in technology. And this preparation needs to be lifelong and not in spurts or driven by exigencies,” said Rituparna Chakraborty, executive V-P, TeamLease Services. “Already there are newer tech jobs evolving for which we are struggling to find the right skills”
