Definitely AI-powered data analysis and visualization. As businesses collect more and more data, they'll need people skilled in leveraging AI to glean insights and present them in meaningful ways to drive decisions. Tools like Tableau or PowerBI combined with AI models for anomaly detection, predictive analytics, etc.

NLP combined with cloud computing and edge AI for sure. Models like GPT-4 and PaLM 2 running efficiently on devices from servers to smartphones will make AI-powered interfaces ubiquitous. Voice control, chatbots, content generation, code assistance, etc powered by foundation models and fine-tuning. Cloud providers and chip companies enabling this stack will be huge.
By 2026, skills in AI and machine learning, cybersecurity, data science, and cloud computing will be in high demand as businesses increasingly rely on these technologies for innovation, security, and data-driven decisions.
I believe robotics engineering skills will rise, especially with automation taking over manufacturing and service industries.
With the rise of Web3, I believe blockchain development skills will be highly sough-after, especially for building decentralized applications,
I see low-code/no-code development gaining traction. Businesses will need IT professionals to support and optimize these platforms.
IoT (internet of Things) skills are going to explode as smart homes, cities, and devices become more widespread.
I think AI and machine learning expertise will dominate the IT landscape.
