Due to the advent of big data and efficient computational resources, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have seen massive growth in recent years. Informatics degree programs are scrambling to meet the ever-increasing market demand of such professions. To explore the skillsets required for AI and ML positions, the authors conducted a content analysis of online job advertisements posted on Indeed.com . They present a ranking of the relevant skills for the two positions. Further, they performed a pairwise comparison between AI and ML positions. Overall, it was observed that technical skills like data mining, programming, statistics and big data are more valued for ML positions than for AI positions. On the contrary, AI positions tend to be more generic, with an emphasis on communication skills. These clearly defined skills can be valuable for the hiring process as well as to revamp existing course curricula to cater to the increasing market demand.
