According to the report of LinkedIn, there has been a consistent month-over-month growth of 25 percent since early April 2023 in the count of U.S. LinkedIn users who are sharing content containing references to generative AI keywords.

In the past year, we've seen professionals globally adopting AI skills at a rapid rate; this is happening in parallel with employers increasingly looking for talent with knowledge of how to effectively use new AI technologies to enhance productivity in their organisations.

AI to replace repetitive tasks

Reports suggesting AI's impact on replacing repetitive tasks rather than skill-based roles find validation in the growing demand for AI-related jobs. This echoes the historical shift seen with the introduction of computers, where typewriters became obsolete but opened doors to those willing to acquire computer-related skills.

Similarly, the future job landscape is poised for transformation, automating some roles while generating new ones. These emerging positions will demand distinct skill sets, for instance, individuals adapting at developing and deploying AI applications or leveraging AI for business problem-solving will find promising opportunities.

Significant transformation in the tech landscape

In early 2023, the tech landscape underwent a significant transformation marked by artificial intelligence (AI). The emergence of generative AI companions like ChatGPT, Bard, Dall-E, and various others has seamlessly integrated AI into both our personal and professional spheres. This transformation has sparked debates surrounding the potential displacement of human jobs by AI.
