While some industries, such as agriculture and leisure, may not yet currently require extensive AI skills, acquiring AI proficiency is becoming increasingly important across a number of other fields. From copy editors to engineers to programmers, adding AI to one’s skill set is either essential to the industry or will significantly enhance a worker’s competitiveness. Globally, employers are actively seeking candidates with AI skills, and a candidate’s proficiency with AI tools will likely have a significant impact on their employability.
