While the world suffered an overall setback due to the COVID pandemic, the tech-based industries have experienced the opposite. As many sectors look towards automated processes and newer technologies, to improve their workflow despite the challenges, a report by Monster.com, a Quess company states that the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning will only continue to grow in 2022, in tech-enabled sectors such as IT and BFSI. This will relate to an increased demand for professionals for the related roles.
As workplaces faced unprecedented challenges, they also had many firsts in the tech spaces. Across sectors, the integration of technology has more than doubled as organisations recalibrated their organisational strategies and goals to accommodate the new normal.
“The year 2021 was definitely a year of recovery. As we step into the new year, we are optimistic about paving the way for better employment opportunities in 2022,” said Monster.com CEO Sekhar Garisa.
This shift has now given a rise to the need for skilled manpower – new and old. According to the report, prospective talents will gain plenty by skilling themselves in fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, while existing talent will certainly gain more from upskilling as sectors such as IT, fintech, BFSI, and crypto will continue to flourish.
The demand for talent in the AI and machine learning sector is estimated to grow significantly, as the reports suggest that AI/machine learning investments in India will continue to grow annually at 33.49% by 2023.
“The future of work is location-agnostic and hybrid, with increased skilling initiatives being undertaken by both employers and employees.”
“Employee flexibility will be critical towards retaining talent in the future, and the Great Shuffle is a reinforcement of how the huge demand in the jobs market is opening the door for employees to select a career of their choice,” he added.
