Business Today: Cognizant’s Head of Strategy Says Artificial Intelligence Will Create New Jobs

“Whether Artificial Intelligence (AI) would kill most jobs or create many new ones is a fiercely waged debate across the world,” writes Business Today. “A new book, ‘What To Do When Machines Do Everything’ brackets the debate into three - dystopians, utopians, pragmatists.”

While parts of every tech service currently offered such as application development, maintenance, testing, and infrastructure maintenance can be automated, Malcolm Frank sees emerging job opportunities in the following areas:

Instrumentation: It is likely enterprises will automate and instrument all their processes, going ahead. Professionals into Internet of Things (IoT) will, therefore, be in demand.

AI, Machine Learning, Data: Professionals across the data supply-chain, and analytics will rule the roost. Just like oil, data can be segregated into Upstream (instrumentation, sensors, connectivity), Midstream (databases, algorithms, logical models), and Downstream (devices, user interfaces, apps). The world needs people who can manage this supply-chain.

Cloud: IT service providers will continue to help enterprises migrate to the Cloud and execute integration work.

Cyber-security: When every device is linked and integrated to the Cloud, the world needs soldiers who would protect your data.
