"With the introduction of AI, traditional roles are beginning to transform. Employers will require employees to be able to work with new technologies, manage AI tools, and understand their results. The importance of soft skills (communication, creativity, emotional intelligence) will also increase even more, since AI can perform tasks related to information processing and logic better than humans," said Anna Spirina, Marketing and Communications Director at get experts consulting company.

In her opinion, a number of professions will change under the influence of AI, others may simply disappear. At the same time, she believes that the use of artificial intelligence opens up opportunities for creating new professions.: The roles of AI development specialists, model training, ethics in AI, and data management are emerging.

"This stimulates the labor market to create new jobs related to the support and development of AI infrastructure. However, it is important to understand that for now AI remains a tool that complements human labor, rather than completely replacing it. Companies are aware of the need to work in parallel to improve the skills of their employees and attract new specialists with competencies in the field of digital technologies. Thus, the key challenge for the labor market is not only the introduction of AI, but also the creation of conditions for the harmonious coexistence of humans and technology," she concluded.
