The World Economic Forum report is certainly a key reference on this topic, and our colleagues at the CNRS have done extensive modelling on the specific impact of AI on the European labor market, particularly concerning areas like data entry and basic content writing. En effet, their findings largely corroborate this trend of displacement in certain roles.
it's great to see jobs like LLM trainer and fine-tuner on the list, especially with the potential for Vietnamese-specific models. we're seeing huge demand for people who understand how to adapt these large models for local languages, which adds a layer of complexity beyond just english. how are companies in asia finding talent for that niche?
it's good to see the AI ethics and governance specialist role getting a shoutout here, especially for that £100k+ bracket. from where i sit in healthcare AI, this isn't just a nice-to-have, it's absolutely critical. we're dealing with patient safety and highly regulated data. having dedicated people who understand both the technical side of AI and the compliance frameworks is non-negotiable. training LLMs for clinical use, for example, needs constant vigilance and a clear ethical roadmap. it’s not just about preventing bias, but ensuring explainability and accountability when an AI makes a recommendation that could impact a patient's treatment.
the article mentions AI ethics/governance specialists as a growing job but korea's national AI strategy still lags, especially compared to singapore or even japan, in creating clear pathways for these roles. how do we bridge that gap so our graduates can actually fill these £100k+ positions in APAC?
