Career and Job Sit LinkedIn released its annual“Emerging Jobs”list. No.1 on   the   list   is artificial intelligence (Al) specialist who figures out things like where     1     makes sense to build Al systems. This is the third year in a row that a role related to Al     2     (top) the list, and the demand     3     (expect) to increase in the future.The pay is very impressive too, with Al roles often     4     (reach) six figures.

There are     5     (opportunity) for Al specialists within many roles such as   software development, and programming. Some AI specialist jobs are advertised using Al technologies such as speech     6     (recognize), but are not directly linked to Al. When Al is used outside of academia, it is usually as part of larger projects solving     7     (practice) problems faced by businesses. Therefore, anyone     8     is interested in a career using AI must be able to offer skills and experience beyond Al.

So what’s behind this rapid growth in Al jobs? We’re in an     9     (extreme) tight labor market so companies are really looking to hire whoever can get the job done. Learning skills like Tensor Flow and Python, as well as throwing yourself     10     machine learning and natural language processing, could help you land the role.
