Skills related to communication, problem solving, creativity and teamwork gained relative importance over time, as did complementary software-related and AI-specific competencies. As expected, many AI-related jobs are posted in categories such as "professionals" and "technicians and associated professionals", though AI-related skills are in demand, to varying degrees, across almost all sectors of the economy.
