Data science and AI
Big data specialists and AI and machine learning specialists are two of the three fastest-growing jobs in the world.
How AI changes this work
Jobs asking for AI skills grew 69% in a year, against 9% for the job market as a whole, and pay an average premium of 62% (PwC 2026). The people who build, test and explain AI systems are the ones it creates work for.
Demand is rising, and AI makes people in these jobs more productive rather than replacing them.
