In five years, AI will be able to compensate for up to 80% of the staffing shortage.
In the Nizhny Novgorod region, which is one of the leaders in the adoption of artificial intelligence, educational programs in this field are already being implemented.
At Lobachevsky Nizhny Novgorod State University, three bachelor’s programs have been launched, including the study of machine learning, systems analysis and IT project management. In total, more than 20 bachelor’s and specialist degree programs in IT-related fields are offered in the region, writes the portal volga.news.
Experts name the most in-demand professions in information technology as:
backend developers
machine learning specialists
systems and data analysts
IT project managers
Artificial intelligence is already being used in the region to monitor road infrastructure, monitor forest areas, analyze medical images and address other socially significant tasks.
The development of artificial intelligence creates a paradoxical situation: the technology simultaneously solves the problem of staff shortages and creates a demand for new specialists. This challenge requires a systemic approach to personnel training and close cooperation between educational institutions and the IT industry.
