The uptake of artificial intelligence (AI) by industry will drastically change the UK job market in the coming years – with 133 million new jobs expected to be created globally. In the UK alone, up to a third of jobs will be automated or likely to change as a result of the emergence of AI, impacting 10.5 million workers, according to recruiter Robert Walters and market analysis firm Vacancy Soft. IT professionals dedicated to data management appear to be the fastest growing area within large or global entities, with volumes increasing ten-fold in three years – an increase in vacancies of 160 per cent since 2015. Data roles across the board have increased by 80 per cent since 2015, with key areas of growth including data scientists and engineers. The emergence of data scientist as a mainstream profession has seen job vacancies increasing by 110 per cent year-on-year.

In the UK alone, up to a third of jobs will be automated or likely to change as a result of the emergence of AI – impacting 10.5 million workers. The findings come from a new report – Harnessing the Power of AI: The Demand for Future Skills – from global recruiter, Robert Walters, and market analysis experts, Vacancy Soft. Ollie Sexton, Principal at Robert Walters, said: "As businesses become ever more reliant on AI, there is an increasing amount of pressure on the processes of data capture and integration. As a result, we have seen an unprecedented number of roles being created with data skillset at their core. "Our job force cannot afford to not get to grips with data and digitalisation.

Over the last few weeks, Computer Weekly has looked at how a number of organisations are combining automation and artificial intelligence (AI) to deliver measurable business benefits. During the Microsoft Future Decoded event in London, the use of Microsoft tools, and Thoughtonomy's intelligent automation platform at East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust, were used to demonstrate how AI and automation can combine to deliver benefits in the public sector. In logistics, Canandian transportation company Polaris Transportation is using AI and automation in a project to streamline the handling of scanned-in customs paperwork, enabling it to reduce many hours of manual work. The company used the WorkFusion intelligent automation platform to scan and "read" customs paperwork associated with cross-border shipping documents. According to Cindy Rose, CEO of Microsoft UK, more advanced organisations are accelerating their use of AI, which has enabled them to see its benefits on their bottom line.

As a result, we have seen an unprecedented number of roles being created with data skill-set at their core. "Our job force cannot afford to not get to grips with data and digitalisation. Since 2015 the volume of data created worldwide has more than doubled – increasing on average by 28 per cent year-on-year.

A list of the industries investing the most money in to Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been compiled with agriculture taking the top spot. These results were taken from the report'Harnessing the Power of AI: The Demand for Future Skills' which was compiled by Robert Walters, a global recruiter and Vacancy Soft, a market analysis expert. The report also stated that the uptake of AI, will create 133 million new jobs globally. However, within the UK, 10.5 million jobs will become automated. As businesses become ever more reliant on AI, there is an increasing amount of pressure on the processes of data capture and integration.

Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have led to a surge in demand for data management skills, as companies seek to bolster their ranks with the right talent as the "age of AI" draws closer. According to a report, Harnessing the Power of AI: The Demand for Future Skills, by recruitment firm Robert Walters and market analysis experts Vacancy Soft, uptake of the technology will change the job market "drastically" and create 133 million new jobs across the globe. In the UK, where the research was based, up to a third of jobs will be automated or changed as a result of AI, impacting 10.5 million workers. "As businesses become ever more reliant on AI, there is an increasing amount of pressure on the processes of data capture and integration," said Ollie Sexton, Principal at Robert Walters. "Now is the perfect time to start honing UK talent for the next generation of AI-influenced jobs. If you look at the statistics in this report we can see that demand is already rife, what we are at risk of is a shortage of talent and skills."

As artificial intelligence continues to pervade a range of industries, the next generation of jobs is on the horizon. In the UK alone, up to a third of jobs will be automated or likely to change as a result of the emergence of AI -- impacting 10.5 million workers, according to the latest report from global recruiter Robert Walters and market analysis experts Vacancy Soft. "As businesses become ever more reliant on AI, there is an increasing amount of pressure on the processes of data capture and integration. As a result, we have seen an unprecedented number of roles being created with data skill-set at their core," said Ollie Sexton, principal at Robert Walters. "Our job force cannot afford to not get to grips with data and digitalisation. Since 2015 the volume of data created worldwide has more than doubled – increasing (on average) by 28% year-on-year. "Now is the perfect time to start honing UK talent for the next generation of AI-influenced jobs.

No city in the world is ready for the disruption that artificial intelligence (AI) will bring. This is the conclusion of a new review by management consultancy Oliver Wyman, which considers the readiness of 105 cities to cope with AI-inspired digital change, and finds even the smartest need to make urgent and "significant improvements". The study ranks cities on four criteria: the quality of their plan (defined as'vision'); their ability to execute on it ('activation'); the quality of their talent and infrastructure ('asset base'); and how the interplay of these last two, their activation and assets, impact their overall momentum ('trajectory'). Singapore is most prepared overall, the report says, with an average score of 75.8 out of 100 across the four criteria. But the review states no city is even close to being fully prepared.

The uptake of artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to create 133 million new jobs globally and "drastically change" the UK job market in the coming years, according to a new report. The findings come from the Harnessing the Power of AI: The Demand for Future Skills report, produced by global recruitment agency Robert Walters and market analysis company Vacancy Soft. The report states that around 10.5 million workers will be impacted by the emergence of AI as around 10-30% of jobs in the UK become automated or otherwise change. However, it also finds that artificial intelligence will create a host of new jobs. According to the report, this uptake of AI has increased the demand for data professionals.
