Demand for Future Skills: Education on AI in Comprehensive Digital Business Development, Big Data Analytics, and Ubiquitous Approach to Data in Business

The goal of this paper is to identify which future skills will be in demand and to offer the student’s program the competencies needed for those. Future job skills will require simulations of different options in Digital business development and an update on education on future business skills that will tackle raising AI Impacts on Academia, Industry, and Society and address a ubiquitous approach to different global needs. These will also shape some emerging jobs like Specialist in AI and ML and Digital transformation specialist. Together with some technical skills such as Categorization of data; Analytical queries; and Development of predictive and analytical models, we also identified additional skills needed for such kinds of jobs. Based on the initial research outcomes, it was possible to design and initially evaluate our program that will address the desired set of skills/competencies in a way of eight courses that provide a comprehensive education on Big data and AI techniques, including problem-solving, data analytics, natural language processing, recommender systems, image analysis, and Blockchain technologies.
