The widespread adoption of artificial intelligence AI is driving rapid change in the IT job market and the skills required across the sector.
This is according to senior members of the Institute of Information Technology Professionals South Africa IITPSA , who say AI is transforming local IT workplaces and that organisations must focus on ethical adoption and upskilling human capital.
Last week, the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos focused on the impact of AI on jobs. A paper released on the sidelines of the meeting warned of the risk of AI creating a lost generation of young workers, noting that long-established job and skills profiles are being disrupted by frontier technologies such as AI, robotics, and automation.
