\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA few years ago, the entire \u2018machine learning<\/a>\u2019 concept was completely unknown, as just a few tech enthusiasts were beginning to explore its meaning. But all of a sudden, its popularity simply exploded!\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tProbably the best example to describe the current trend is the fact that between 2015 and 2019, the openings for positions like\u00a0machine learning engineer grew by 344%<\/a>, while the average base salary reached a whopping $164,085 per year.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLet that sink in for a few moments.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\nConsidering that, at least in the United States, the average base salary of the 25 best\u00a0jobs<\/a>\u00a0is around $104,000, we can totally understand why this demand.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBut let\u2019s see what actually caused this\u2026.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\nTechnically speaking, it\u2019s a branch of\u00a0artificial intelligence<\/a>, based on the idea that a system can learn from data, identify specific patterns and make decisions without any human intervention.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIf you prefer a simpler approach, it\u2019s used to identify images, but also consumer-driven chatbots, neural networks or voice search, among others.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFor some, this might sound scary, but the truth is that\u00a0machine learning<\/a>\u00a0has several applications that are just becoming realized. Therefore, it\u2019s no surprise that the employer demand for talent with such skills is growing with each day, we\u2019d say.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFor example, over the past three years, roles like\u00a0machine learning engineers<\/a>\u00a0became some of the most in-demand AI positions of the moment. As a matter of fact, ML is now the most in-demand AI skill.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tConsidering that\u00a0artificial intelligence<\/a>\u00a0is projected to create an additional 2.3 million jobs until next year, we\u2019re not wrong to assume that machine learning will remain a highly-demanded skill for the years to come, present in loads of\u00a0resume examples<\/a>.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOk, but there\u2019s still an unanswered question: why the demand for people with such…knowledge?\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHow many times have you heard people saying – or did it yourself – things like \u201cOk, Google\u201d, \u201cHey, Siri\u201d or \u201cAlexa\u2026\u201d?\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tVirtual assistants are becoming more and more popular, and people are integrating them into their lives, whether it\u2019s for answering questions, listening to music, setting alarms or navigation. And machine learning is an important part of these assistants since it allows them to collect and refine the information you\u2019re providing.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBasically, they\u2019re getting better with each use, as their answers are perfectly tailored to users\u2019 needs, if they have been used for long enough.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSure, virtual assistants are the most common example but let\u2019s not forget about other use cases, such as commuting predictions, video surveillance, customer support, product recommendations or even security!\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tArtificial intelligence<\/a>\u00a0is almost everywhere, and machine learning is clearly one of its most popular applications.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOn the other side, there\u2019s also a big problem.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\nMachine learning talent will be seriously impacted by a widespread shortage of\u00a0professionals<\/a>\u00a0in the near future. Yes, the demand for these positions has doubled recently but, at the same time,\u00a0job<\/a>-seeker interest in AI-related roles is somehow leveling off.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThis is actually caused by employers, as most of them are not fully aware of the benefits packages they should offer for somebody with these qualifications.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAs mentioned above, the average base salary for machine learning engineers is around $165,000, not to mention additional perks, like bonuses, remote working options, extended PTO plans or flexible scheduling.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe talent is finite, and to maintain this demand for positions, companies should be ready to pay employees very well. Because this is an amazing technology and it would be a real shame to not get the best out of it!\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
