Who will get hired in the AI age?

Applying artificial intelligence and other advanced digital technologies in the real economy isn't a job for tech nerds. Instead, Europe needs more people who can combine a deep knowledge of industry sectors with some expertise in data analytics. That was the verdict of guests at a Science Business roundtable on digital skills, hosted by Sorbonne University's Center for Artificial Intelligence (SCAI) in Paris on 23 January 2020. The event was part of a series of events and publications by Science Business as part of its Digital Skills project. Conversations about AI's impact on the labour market often assume it will create jobs for a small elite of tech nerds, while destroying many more conventional roles.
