AI Expertise Demand Soars by 1,000%: The Unstoppable Rise of Tech Talent
Surge in Demand for AI Expertise
The demand for AI expertise has skyrocketed by 1,000%, according to Fiverr’s latest Business Trends Index. This surge highlights a significant skills gap in the tech industry, making it increasingly challenging for companies to find and retain the talent they require.
One of the sectors experiencing notable growth on Fiverr’s platform is ‘Accounting and Finance,’ which has seen an 835% increase in demand over the past six months. This trend demonstrates a need for AI and machine learning technologies to streamline financial operations and enhance efficiency.
Moreover, the report indicated a remarkable trend in the creative industries, with AI art searches in the UK increasing by 6,223% during the same period. This shift suggests that businesses are actively exploring AI technologies to innovate and create new products within the creative realm.
Bukki Adedapo, UK Country Manager at Fiverr, noted, “The services that are rising on the Fiverr platform reflect society’s growing awareness and adoption of AI. Interestingly, more businesses are being established in the UK amidst global economic upheaval than in previous times. Often, economic downturns can create new opportunities for growth.”
Despite the pandemic-induced challenges, a significant number of new businesses continue to emerge in the UK. Fiverr’s data indicates a noticeable uptick in Business Naming services (+51%) and Website Development (+92%) in the last six months, suggesting that UK entrepreneurs are optimistic about thriving even in the current economic landscape.
The latest Business Trends Index reveals that companies and freelancers are adapting well to pandemic-related challenges, increasingly turning to technology as a means to navigate the evolving market. The rising demand for AI services showcases a growing recognition of the advantages these technologies can provide, including the automation of mundane tasks and improved decision-making capabilities.
Alexia Pedersen, VP of EMEA at O’Reilly, commented, “As job opportunities increase, so does the need for digital skills. However, there is a growing disparity between job demand and the availability of digitally skilled workers in the UK. Organizations must invest in developing a skilled workforce to bridge this gap. Employees, too, should prioritize learning and development to become invaluable assets to their organizations.”
As the landscape continues to evolve, businesses that adopt AI and other emerging technologies quickly will likely be best positioned for future success.
