AI-related roles extend beyond engineering, with “machine learning engineer” ranking as the seventh fastest-growing role in the Netherlands, and AI consultant roles gaining traction in London. The demand for AI consultants reflects the growing excitement and FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) among businesses wanting to deploy AI effectively.
It’s worth noting that while tech giants like Google DeepMind lead the AI landscape, startups across Europe, including Stability AI, Wayve, Synthesia, Mistral AI, Aleph Alpha, and Helsing, contribute significantly to the thriving AI ecosystem.
As the demand for AI engineers intensifies, the talent pool faces a shortage, leading to premium salaries. The push for gender diversity in AI remains crucial, with efforts needed to encourage more women to pursue AI roles and bridge the existing gender gap.
Beyond AI, the need for skilled cyber security specialists is paramount. Roles such as security operations centre analyst and cyber security engineer are among the fastest-growing in various European countries. With cyber insecurity ranked as a top global risk, the demand for cyber security professionals continues to rise.
In closing, the tech landscape is evolving rapidly, with AI and cyber security playing pivotal roles. At BrainSource, we recognize the importance of staying ahead of these trends and are dedicated to connecting top talent with organizations at the forefront of innovation.
As the demand for AI engineers and cyber security specialists continues to rise, the tech industry faces exciting challenges.
