Automation, Artificial Intelligence to make many IT jobs obsolete over next 5 years, says survey

The Information Technology has never had it so bad as it has since a year ago when job cuts and summary dismissals have been the order of the day. No matter which blue chip IT firm an individual works for, the jobs they are hold at risk, irrespective of seniority. A survey by Simplilearn, How Automation is Changing Work Choices: The Future of IT Jobs in India, says that the future of IT is in Cyber Security, Big Data and Data Science, Big Data Architect, Big Data Engineer, Artificial Intelligence and IoT (Internet of Things) Architect, and Cloud Architect . The jobs that will disappear will be anything in the next five are those that are repetitive and can be taken over by Artificial Intelligence (AI) such as manual testing, infrastructure management, BPO and system maintenance will massively decline over the next five years. Core development jobs will not feel the impact of job loss, said Kashyap Dalal, Chief Business Officer.
