"While IT professionals have remained constant through every technological wave of change, helping people adopt new technology, it doesn't make the industry immune to change itself -- the AI revolution is no exception. The emergence of generative AI has had a profound impact on how IT professionals develop their skills to stay in demand, allocate their budgets, and adopt the latest technologies."
"While the most popular rhetoric surrounding AI and job security suggests that jobs will continue to diminish -- a new Gartner report predicting AI will cause "jobs chaos," -- the IT industry is experiencing a slightly different reality. Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicate that IT jobs are projected to grow three times faster than all jobs, at a rate of 9% versus 3% for all other jobs from 2024 to 2034."
Generative AI is reshaping the IT industry by changing required skills, hiring practices, budget allocation, and technology adoption. IT job growth is projected at 9% from 2024 to 2034, three times the overall job growth rate, driven largely by new security concerns tied to AI implementation. Organizations increasingly prioritize security expertise and adaptable skill sets when hiring. Continuous upskilling is becoming essential for IT professionals to remain in demand. The AI-driven changes are prompting IT teams to reassess training priorities, security postures, and resource allocation to safely leverage generative AI capabilities.
