As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more ubiquitous, it will shake up the working world as we know it. According to a World Economic Forum report, an estimated 85 million jobs could be displaced by a shift in the division of labor between humans and machines by 2025; however, the report also predicts that 97 million new roles could emerge over the same period.
AI jobs typically require specified experiences and skills, but if you obtain the necessary elements, you could be poised for a secure — and well-paying — career. Several of these jobs can also be done completely remotely.
If you are open to obtaining new skills — or already have AI experience — you might want to consider one of these AI roles, identified by FlexJobs, all of which pay six figures and allow you to work from home.
