The predictions are based on the company\u2019s own projects and those on which it advises. They are:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"_487dc _9c220\">\n<li><strong>AI Architect<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Responsible for working out where AI can help a business, measuring performance and\u2014crucially\u2014 \u201csustaining the AI model over time.\u201d Lack of architects \u201cis a big reason why companies cannot successfully sustain AI initiatives,\u201d KMPG notes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>AI Product Manager<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Liaises between teams, making sure ideas can be implemented, especially at scale. Works closely with architects, and with human resources departments to make sure humans and machines can all work effectively.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Data Scientist<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Manages the huge amounts of available data and designs algorithms to make it meaningful.<\/li>\n<li><strong>AI Technology Software Engineer<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 \u201cOne of the biggest problems facing businesses is getting AI from pilot phase to scalable deployment,\u201d KMPG writes. Software engineers need to be able both to build scalable technology and understand how AI actually works.<\/li>\n<li><strong>AI Ethicist<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 AI presents a host of ethical challenges which will continue to unfold as the technology develops. Creating guidelines and ensuring they\u2019re upheld will increasingly become a full-time job.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>While it\u2019s all very well to list the jobs people should be training and hiring for, it\u2019s another matter to actually create a pipeline of people ready to enter those roles. Brad Fisher, KPMG\u2019s US lead on data and analytics and the lead author of the predictions, tells Quartz there aren\u2019t enough people getting ready for these roles.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Fisher has a steer for those who are eyeing AI jobs but have yet to choose an academic path: business process skills can be \u201ctrained,\u201d he said, but \u201cthere is no substitute for the deep technical skillsets, such as mathematics, econometrics, or computer science, which would prepare someone to be a data scientist or a big-data software engineer.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #f0854f;\"><em>From DSC:<\/em><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #f0854f;\">I don&#8217;t think institutions of higher education (as well as several other types of institutions in our society) are recognizing that the pace of technological change has changed, and that there are significant ramifications to those changes upon society.
