Artificial intelligence is changing the way we work, but beyond the fear that AI will replace
workers, a bigger question is emerging: what new jobs will AI create. From AI developers and data
specialists to prompt engineers, automation experts, AI trainers, ethics specialists and digital entrepreneurs,
an entirely new employment ecosystem is taking shape. For South Africa, where unemployment remains a
major challenge, could the AI economy create new pathways into work particularly for young people? What
skills will be needed and are our education and training systems preparing people for these opportunities.
