THE INDUSTRY SCENARIO

NASSCOM: IT Sector to remain high job creating sector:

Companies are looking to beef up operations, especially in areas like data sciences, algorithm design and cloud computing.

  • Artificial Intelligence (AI) is recognized and adopted by many organizations as a powerful solution. However, it is yet to be fully exploited. AI – based systems could act as an accelerator for organizations to replicate and scale human attributes like pattern recognition, learning and problem solving effectively and economically for solving complex business challenges.” From “Uncovering The True Value Of AI “ , a NASSCOM study
  • Build a lucrative and futuristic career in the field of Cyber Security. According to NASSCOM, the estimated demand for security workforce to rise globally to six million by 2019, up from 4 million in 2015, with projected shortfall of 1.5 million (https://www.gadgetsnow.com/tech-news/Cybersecurity-to-create-1million-jobs-Nasscom/articleshow/51884133.cms)

Mckinsey global Institute: Notes from the AI frontier insights from hundreds of use cases

Artificial intelligence (AI) stands out as a transformational technology of our digital age. Questions about what it is, what it can already do—and what it has the potential to become— cut across technology, psychology, politics, economics, science fiction, law, and ethics

AI COULD POTENTIALLY CREATE $3.5 TRILLION TO $5.8 TRILLION IN ANNUAL VALUE IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY

The biggest value opportunities for AI are in marketing and sales and in supply-chain management and manufacturing. In banking, marketing and sales and risk are among the areas with the most potential value from AI. Understanding the value potential of AI across sectors and functions can help shape the portfolios of these AI technology companies.

Per industry, we estimate that AI’s potential value amounts to between 1 and 9 percent of 2016 revenue. These figures are not forecasts for a particular period in time, but they are indicative of the considerable potential for the global economy that advanced analytics represents.

Big Data, machine learning and data science will drive top job opportunities this year, says the Salary Benchmark 2019 report by professional recruitment consultancy Michael Page India.
