DEMAND GROWS, BUT SO DO CONCERNS
As more companies enter the AI training market, providers say ensuring quality will become increasingly crucial.
“It’s important to ensure there are regulations (so that people) don’t get cheated by unscrupulous players,” TeamLease’s Rooj said.
Recruiters say the appeal of AI training goes beyond concerns about job displacement. As businesses adopt the technology, employers are putting more emphasis on candidates who can use AI effectively at work.
They also caution that completing an AI course alone is unlikely to guarantee a better job or higher salary.
“Across sectors, companies are investing in AI-led transformation. Because of that, there is a good amount of demand for talent that knows how to use AI, how to speak in the language of AI,” said Anand V, Asia-Pacific chief information officer at recruitment firm Randstad.
“But the promotions and salaries, it comes to people who are actually continuously learning and adapting and are able to translate their AI knowledge into tangible results.”
