Our next guest on ‘Tech Connects’ has been on the show a few times before: Art Zeile, CEO of DHI Group, the parent company of Dice. It’s always great to talk with him about the evolution of the tech market. Art’s been publishing an article per week on LinkedIn in which he digs deeply in the future of work and how it’ll be impacted by the current revolution in artificial intelligence.
Here are some quick takeaways from this discussion with Art:
First, embracing AI isn’t really optional. The rapid evolution of AI demands immediate action from businesses. Similar to the impact of the PC or the internet, AI is fundamentally altering business models. Companies that fail to integrate AI risk losing market share to competitors who are already leveraging its capabilities.
Second, you can’t really wait to embrace AI. Technology professionals are already adopting AI tools at a rapid pace, and surveys indicate there’s already widespread use of AI, particularly in code generation and completion. To remain competitive, tech professionals must understand how generative AI can enhance their careers. Those who fail to adapt will find themselves at a significant disadvantage.
Third, upskilling is absolutely essential for anyone who wants to succeed in this new, AI-driven environment. The demand for AI talent far exceeds supply, and so companies are increasingly focusing on upskilling their existing workforce to meet AI demands rather than hiring externally. Learning Python and data engineering can provide a strong foundation for an AI career. Additionally, platforms like AWS offer numerous resources for upskilling in AI.
Fourth, as AI adoption grows, so do concerns about data privacy and security. Companies must establish strict policies regarding AI usage to protect sensitive information. Preventing data leaks to large language models is crucial. Furthermore, developing tools to monitor AI usage within organizations will become increasingly important to safeguard proprietary information.
More columns will roll out over the next few months, highlighting how AI will continue to impact the job market in massive and subtle ways for decades to come.
