A new report from Forrester on the rapid adoption and evolution of artificial intelligence reveals that organizations are being challenged to hire workers with the skills needed for AI-specific roles. While the role of the traditional developer will certainly change – and perhaps even be de-prioritized – the report found three areas in which skills will be prioritized.
