The rapid development of artificial intelligence is revolutionising the world of work – not only through automation, but above all by creating completely new professions. This opens up exciting possibilities for companies to rethink work processes. But which professions are actually emerging? And how can the economy prepare for them? Dell Technologies has now presented some examples of the wide range of new job profiles.

AI Policy Makers: Focus on ethics and regulation

As more and more powerful AI systems become more widespread, the need for rules for the responsible use of this technology is also growing. To prevent misuse, manipulation and discrimination, a high level of data protection and transparency is important. AI policy makers have the task of defining the relevant guidelines. They ensure that AI is used responsibly, which is of central importance in areas such as healthcare or public administration.

Thermal Plumbers: Sustainability in data centres

Even though artificial intelligence has the potential to make an important contribution to ecological sustainability, AI systems are computationally and thus resource-intensive. Their development and use consume large amounts of energy. Thermal plumbers develop strategies for optimising heat and power management to increase sustainability and efficiency. This profession combines technical expertise with environmental know-how.

AI agent conductors: harmony between man and machine

In contrast to classic tools such as virtual assistants and chatbots, which merely take instructions and react to them, AI agents are characterised by their autonomy. They act independently, make decisions and perform tasks using the appropriate tools, without constant human intervention. Of course, they are not completely self-sufficient, which is why experts have to orchestrate their interactions: AI agent conductors monitor the processes, optimise workflows and ensure smooth collaboration between humans and machines.

AI system technicians: mechanics in the world of AI

Service, maintenance, repair and diagnostic work are tasks that, for example, automotive mechatronics technicians perform in the workshop every day. They have to carry out the customer's order according to specifications and, if necessary, find new ways to solve problems. Similarly, AI system technicians ensure that intelligent technologies function smoothly. They monitor, configure and repair AI systems to ensure their availability.

Data engineers: fuel for AI systems

Artificial intelligence extracts valuable insights from large amounts of data, leading to better decisions and more innovative products. The more data the technology has available, the better it can analyse and learn. Data engineers are already ensuring the quality, structure and security of data sets so that companies can benefit from precise AI analyses. This profession requires expertise in databases, programming languages and big data.
