January 06: Information Technology (IT) sector is picked as a driver of job creation in 2025. The new job opportunities in the sector have been projected to rise by 20% in 2025, says a report quoting FirstMeridian Business Services.
Owing to tremendous demand for digital services and specialized tech roles, the job creation witnessed an increase of 17% in 2024.
The report published in Mint, a reputed financial daily, reveals that emerging positions such as application developers, software engineers, DevOps engineers, AI specialists, and cybersecurity experts are expected to see the most growth.
Remarkably, Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the backdrop of trending in 2024 is set to grow further in 2025. According to a report, the generative AI industry alone is anticipated to create one million jobs by 2028, significantly boosting GDP.
The experts believe that high-demand roles such as data analysts, engineers, and scientists are becoming critical.
Even non-tech sectors like BFSI and telecom are also going to contribute to the overall employment landscape, as the trends observed in the year gone-by witnessed increase in demand for IT professionals.
There is no denying the fact that technology has rejigged every aspect of our lives, transforming the way we work and interact with each other. However, there is no end to the innovations in technology and its advancement is only increasing. This means, the changes brought to our lives today are not permanent and we can expect even more significant changes in coming times.
One of the most exciting and impactful technological advancements is Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI has already made significant strides in various industries, including healthcare, finance, and retail. It is already used in multiple ways, from powering self-driving cars to helping doctors diagnose diseases.
The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) would be interesting, rather exciting thing to watch. In the next ten years, AI is expected to become even more intelligent and omnipresent, with more advanced machine learning algorithms, natural language processing, and computer vision.
As AI technology evolves, we can expect more advanced machine learning algorithms, natural language processing, and computer vision. This will enable more personalized and efficient services, such as virtual personal assistants, intelligent chatbots, and automated customer service.
Precisely, the AI technology has the potential to revolutionize the way businesses operate, allowing for more streamlined processes and improved customer experiences. It could be used to automate tasks, improve our decision-making, and even create new forms of art and entertainment. The development of AI is not without a concern. There would be significant ethical concerns, such as privacy, bias, and accountability. As AI becomes more pervasive, it is crucial to ensure that it is used ethically and for the betterment of society.
Notably, there are several things one can take to prepare for the future of technology.
Stay informed about technological trends. The more we know about the latest technological trends, the better equipped we will deal with their challenges and opportunities.
Develop critical thinking skills. We need to be able to think critically about the information that we are presented with, and we need to be able to assess the potential benefits and risks of new technologies.
Be prepared to adapt. Technology is constantly changing, and we need to be ready to adapt to these changes. This means being open to new ideas and willing to learn new things.
By staying informed, developing critical thinking skills, and being prepared to adapt, we can ensure that technology is used for good and that we are included.
By understanding the future of technology, we can be prepared for the coming changes. We can ensure that we are using technology in a way that benefits us all.
Meanwhile, it’s impossible to say for sure what the future of technology holds, but it will continue to play an increasingly important role in our lives. What is popular today may be obsolete in just a few years. What was once thought impossible could become standard in less than a decade. For this reason, it’s hard to know whether these predictions will come true. But it’ll be interesting to see how these ideas manifest in the years to come.
While the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in workplaces has increased, a recent study has found that it has certainly enhanced productivity, but at a cost. More than 80 percent of the workers evaluated said that they have been unhappy at work and reported reduced job satisfaction, the study by a doctoral student at MIT found. In comparison, the AI tools led to a 17 percent increase in new product creation amongst these workers.
“The technology has strikingly disparate effects across the productivity distribution: while the bottom third of scientists see little benefit, the output of top researchers nearly doubles,” the study, conducted on 1,018 scientists working at a large US-based research and development lab since May 2022, found. “Survey evidence reveals that these gains come at a cost, however, as 82 percent of scientists report reduced satisfaction with their work due to decreased creativity and skill underutilisation.”
To conclude, as technology evolves, knowing the potential benefits and risks is essential. On the one hand, technology can help us to solve some of the world’s most pressing problems, such as climate change and poverty. On the other hand, technology can also be used for harmful purposes, such as surveillance and warfare.
It is essential to be aware of technological change’s challenges and opportunities. We need to use technology wisely and ethically and be prepared for the potential negative consequences of technological change.
