Artificial Intelligence the hottest skill to have in post-pandemic world: Survey

Of these skills, which also include creativity, blockchain, and affiliate marketing, artificial intelligence has emerged as one of the hottest skills to have, according to the study which surveyed HR professionals and employees across several regions including India. "AI's demand is only set to increase as technology adoption continues. Being a highly scientific field, employees seeking to upskill in this area have taken on a pragmatic approach that translates knowledge into real-world skills and helps them develop capabilities to create data sets, build machine learning models, and use Python and/or R programming to deliver measurable results," said Randstad RiseSmart in a statement. According to the World Economic Forum, 50% of employees worldwide will need reskilling as technology adoption increases, and this need has likely only increased given the pandemic. The survey findings add adaptability and creativity as the next best skill to have.
