What skills are/will be required in AI job postings?
Yesterday, I came across this visualisation of skills required for AI-related positions on Instagram.
To be honest, it feels a bit outdated to me because AI can now handle most tasks quite well: writing texts, generating images, coding, and, to some extent, even creating videos.
We used to say that "we need someone to prompt AI," but with today's AI agents, the machine can manage almost the entire process on its own.
How do you see the demand for skills evolving in the future, taking into account that AI will take over the role in most "from-the-desk" industries?
Which ones do you think will be the most in demand?
My guess is that until physical machines improve, social skills will be highly valued.
For example, working in care homes, supporting disadvantaged groups, or professions like firefighters, police officers, and paramedics, where physical action is needed and AI can't really help at the moment.[But for example, in the military, I see great potential for AI and hardware robots.]
Also in medicine (doctors, nurseries), machines don't have the fine motor skills needed for tasks like stitching wounds.
I am attaching the above-mentioned visualisation from Instagram:

Maybe I was too soon with my statement about medicine:

Nice visual and nice take.
Prompt engineering will be invaluable (already is)

@theo_l That's why I thought the visualisation is outdated, and some guy replied to me on IG: It is updated :D
but I do not think so :D
@theo_l Can't agree more. prompt engineering and maybe ai agent automation are very hot already!
Definitely Python... to develop and customize new AI models!

@terabitcoins To be honest, I am not very knowledgeable at what extent it can work (I mean these things around AI and programming skills)
@busmark_w_nika We are all learning as it grows... there are different ai models, but to simplify it, we can say that they were all programmed to execute a specific set of features and learn from it (on machine learning models, for example) to improve their accuracy and mitigate any existing bias in the algorithm. To create those models/algorithms, there will always exist the need for programmers, and Python is one of the most used programming languages in this area. Hope this answer, in very basic terms, may help in any way.

@terabitcoins, what could be the next models and their "specialisation"?
