AI engineers demand outlook

The AI Engineers Demand Outlook is expected to grow at a CAGR of 20.17%, reaching a market size of US$9.460 million in 2029 from US$3.775 million in 2024.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) engineers are positioned at the intersection of theory and practice by developing intelligent algorithms and systems that are capable of learning, analyzing, and predicting future occurrences. They are responsible for transforming advanced math and statistics applications into realistic computing algorithms. Among the most important tasks include creating AI models, preparing data, training and fine-tuning models, implementing AI systems, and their testing and maintenance. AI engineering usually requires proficiency in areas such as computer science, math, statistics, machine learning, and deep learning. They are found in the technology, healthcare, and finance manufacturing sectors where AI is mainly used to automate tasks and analyze data for better productivity.

There is increasing recruitment of AI engineers owing to the developments in the technologies of deep learning and neural networks, edge computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), and penetration of AI into industries such as healthcare, finance, and manufacturing, among others. AI technology is used in diagnosis and treatment, AI in drug development and personalized medicine, anti-fraud and algorithmic trading, call centers and home automation, repair forecasting and quality assessment, and recommendation systems. Also, data has increased at a rapid rate which requires the skills of AI engineers to understand the data collected to make the right decisions. AI is of course a huge investment for companies as it helps in their operational efficiencies, cost-cutting, and creating a market edge. Further, automation seeks to carry out the minimum human intervention to accomplish tasks that are repetitive so that human labor is available for more tactical activities.

Numerous universities and research labs across the world are investing in AI research which is further enhancing the need for AI engineers. These variables are directly impacting the ever-increasing need for AI engineers in the world. For instance, in June 2023, Accenture bought Nextira, which is an AWS Premier Partner, to enhance its engineering skills in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning among other fields. This acquisition was targeted to accompany the engineering enhancement of Accenture Cloud First and allow the clients to leverage a complete assortment of cloud capabilities and tools.

  • Segmentation of the AI Engineers Demand Outlook

Based on age, the AI engineers demand outlook is divided into 25 – 40 Years, 40 – 50 Years, 50– 60 Years, and >60 Years. The group population in the 25-40-year bracket is likely to play a key role in the growth of the demand for AI engineers within the next few years because of their technological savvy, education, work experience, and flexibility. They are digital natives which means that they are comfortable with advanced technologies and have a better chance of grasping new AI technologies very quickly and without struggle. The graduate education they have pursued, such as, in computer science, data science, or machine learning programs, is also relevant to drawing upon AI.

Based on gender, the AI engineers demand outlook is classified into male and female. The increase in demand for AI engineers will improve with the rise in diversity in the industry. Both male and female AI engineers have the required skills and education and the need for these engineers is on the rise. Diversity also provides a bigger pool of talents and the range of perspectives and ways of looking at problems is enhanced. In addition, the issues of equal gender representation in the tech industry have been recognized and women are being encouraged to make careers in AI.

Based on the field, the AI engineers demand outlook is categorized into natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, machine learning applications, robotics, and others. The demand for AI Engineering is predicted to see considerable growth in the next few years due to increasing demand in all fields but mostly rapid rise in NLP and computer vision. In addition, NLP will increase demand in areas such as customer services, translation services, and content generation. As for computer vision, which allows machines to understand images, demand will be on the rise in self-driving cars, medical image retrieval and identification, and recognition systems.

Based on geography, the AI engineers demand outlook is extending majorly in the North American region due to various factors. The North American region particularly the US, has evolved into a primary geographical center for AI research and its contributions to development due to the established technological infrastructures, scientific research establishments, investments from corporations such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and many others and the government itself. Furthermore, given the availability of broadband internet connection, cloud procurements, and efficient research centers, the region is conducive to the development activities of AI. These facilities also tend to train high-level professional AI engineers which in turn fuel the development of the AI market.
