As if manufacturers didn't already have enough on their hands trying to find suitable applicants for their shop floors and R&D departments, the world of artificial intelligence is about to explode onto the scene. And when it does, the scramble for talent will only grow maddeningly tougher. This may sound like trouble, but there's a tremendous upside. According to a newly released study by the MAPI Foundation and the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF), not only will AI enable machines to do a lot more--but it will also empower humans to do a lot more as well. That means an upsurge of new kinds of jobs related to developing new AI solutions, leading new AI business strategies and supervising AI implementations.
