Amazon Web Services (AWS), a global global cloud company, cited artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning as the technological capabilities that domestic workers should have over the next five years.
On the 23rd, AWS unveiled the highlights of its report titled “Reporting Asia-Pacific Digital Potential: Changing Digital Technology Demands and Policy Approaches.” A report prepared by Alpha Beta, a consulting company commissioned by AWS, analyzed digital technologies used by workers in Korea, Australia, India, Indonesia, Japan, and Singapore, and predicted technologies that will receive attention in the next five years.
This report was prepared based on a survey of 500 domestic digital workers and interviews with technology experts, business leaders, and policy makers.
According to the report, Korea is expected to need an additional 15.6 million digital workers by 2025. This is 93% more than before.
Of these, the proportion of current students who will be included in the working population for the next five years is analyzed to be about 15%, indicating that cultivation of digital competencies is urgent.
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) were cited as important technical competencies that domestic workers should have.
This is because the importance of analyzing big data and predicting the future through artificial intelligence and machine learning becomes increasingly important. In addition, there are many cases of using complex data to improve productivity. Artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies are applied not only to web, software, and games, but also to cloud-based intelligent application development.
Yoon Jeong-won, CEO of AWS Korea’s public sector, said, “Cloud experts with AI knowledge and expertise will be the key manpower to drive the economic growth of Korea.”
AWS offers a variety of free training opportunities through free courses and virtual training sessions.
