Some 4.44% of the 9,949 vacancies in the fashion industry require job applicants to have an AI related skill which is a stark contrast to the retail/e-commerce sector where only 0.09% of the 91,313 vacancies require AI.
Digital PR agency Tank analysed 18 key industries to uncover the top five that are embracing the technology fastest, ranking them based on the proportion of vacancies that involve working with AI. Top was Fashion followed by Electronics, Warehousing & Distribution, Food & Beverage and Automative.
The report described the fashion industry as “a fast-paced and competitive environment, where AI can help to improve efficiency, identify trends and align supply with demand to reduce waste”.
On the flipside, sitting at the bottom of the bottom five, only 0.09% out of 91,313 vacancies in the retail and e-commerce industry require an AI related skills.
Martin Harris, head of digital at Tank, said: “There’s no doubt that AI is transforming the employment landscape – and I’d argue this is a good thing. It is removing a lot of the labour-intensive drudge work, and giving people more rewarding opportunities to drive success at their business. Like numeracy and literacy, we are likely to see data and AI literacy become a requirement in many technical and non-technical roles.
“Emotional intelligence is, and always will be, a human trait. It cannot be replicated authentically in a machine, but it can improve the strengths of that trait by backing it up with evidence. This year, in particular, it feels like AI has come of age and because the technology is so powerful, human judgement and oversight are more important than ever.”
