Interest in AI roles has risen more steadily by <strong>178%<\/strong> in the past three and a half years, not quite high enough to meet the fivefold surge in postings.<\/p>\n<p>The popularity of software in innovations including smart home devices and customer service chat bots demonstrate how the industry is developing at pace.<\/p>\n<p>Typical roles in AI include Machine Learning Engineers and\u00a0Software Developers in areas as diverse as banking, universities and commerce. In most cases applicants require previous experience and a degree in a subject like maths or physics, although some may even have qualifications in machine learning.<\/p>\n<p>But despite the sector paying well &#8211; the average annual salary for a Machine Learning Engineer1\u00a0is \u00a354,366 &#8211; the availability of workers with suitable skills simply isn\u2019t keeping up with demand from employers.<\/p>\n<p>While the Government has made high profile attempts to encourage more people take up science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) subjects and degrees, Indeed\u2019s data reveals that this has yet to feed through to the AI front line.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mariano Mamertino, EMEA Economist at global job site Indeed, commented:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2019Employers in every sector are keen to utilise artificial intelligence and need workers with the right skills to fill these roles. Our data shows that competition for this shallow pool of candidates is fierce, with the numbers of available roles outstripping potential new hires.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe AI sector is likely to keep growing as the potential for the widespread application of the technology, across different industries, becomes more clear. Investing in education and the right skills needed to propel the industry forward will be key to its growth in the coming years.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New data reveals a Huge growth in Artificial Intelligence in UK in 2017 Near 5 fold increase in AI jobs in just three years But figures from the world\u2019s largest job site Indeed show a significant talent shortage &#8211; as vacancies vastly outnumber interest from jobseekers The number jobs in artificial intelligence (AI) in the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":3513,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":""},"categories":[25,1],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.1 (Yoast SEO v19.7.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The Rise of the Machines?
