The world of work is changing––rapidly. Thanks to the advent and rapid adoption of generative AI, tech stocks had a bumper 2023, with the share price of the Big Five ( , , , , and ) leaping by 60% from the start of that year. 2023 was also a , which saw its shares triple in price. Alphabet Amazon Apple Meta Microsoft smash success for chipmaker, Nvidia And while adoption isn’t even across the board yet, corporate America is sitting up and taking notice. At JPMorgan Chase, for example, the company said it had 600 machine-learning engineers, with AI working on more than 300 different internal applications. A recent found that 71% of C-suite leaders said that advancing their use of AI is either a high or medium priority for their organization, with 62% of executives noting that they are worried they’re not moving fast enough with AI. study from UKG That has led to some companies doing “AI washing”, aka exaggerating the amount of AI technology they use in their products or services. While some companies might not be entirely truthful about their motivations and use of artificial intelligence or machine learning technologies, what is increasingly true is that in an AI future, tech workers will need to upskill. The World Economic Forum (WEF) says that “the 2020s are becoming the decade of development for employees and employers in terms of skills and career progression”. Its most recent identified that 44% of workers’ skills will be disrupted in the next five years, and six in 10 staff members will require training before 2027. Future of Jobs Report Upskilling for free Key skills to acquire will include new technology capabilities, but the WEF has also identified key human skills such as analytical and creative thinking, as well as resilience, flexibility and agility, motivation, and self-awareness. AKA, the things that artificial intelligence (so far) can’t do. If you’re thinking about some upskilling, then one great place to begin is (OCW) platform. MIT’s OpenCourseWare A free and open space to learn, OCW contains material from thousands of MIT courses across every MIT department and degree program, ranging from the introductory to the most advanced graduate level. Courses include a syllabus, instructional material (such as lecture notes or a reading list), and learning activities like assignments or exams. You can use all the courses at your own pace, and there is no enrollment fee or date to complete by––useful for those working in busy, pressurized roles. A huge range of computer science, engineering, and technology courses are available, across topics such as machine learning, generative AI, Python, deep learning, cognitive robotics, data science, and much more, all for free. If upskilling to get a new job is on your 2024 agenda, then the courses above are a great start. And your job hunt is made far easier too thanks to the . It contains thousands of interesting tech roles, like the three below. HackerNoon Job Board DataAnnotation is seeking a to train its AI chatbots to code.
