Global study: Skilled craft workers essential for AI
The global study highlights the importance of practical and manual skills in building and operating the infrastructure for AI projects. It indicates that the demand for such labor has increased significantly, especially in product development, transportation, and operations, with growth rates exceeding 140% in some jobs. Material economy professions now account for approximately 45.6% of the global labor market, and this need is growing as investments in data centers and clean energy expand, projected to reach nearly $7 trillion by 2030. However, there is a notable shortage of skilled workers and challenges in recruiting new generations of employees. Additionally, the study emphasizes the challenge posed by a lack of digital skills and vocational training, especially as reliance on technology and automation intensifies. This makes manual and practical skills increasingly scarce resources vital for the labor market in the age of AI and clean energy.
