Exploring Careers in AI Beyond the Obvious

If you’re currently seeking employment within the tech sector, you may be naturally inclined to gravitate towards tech companies. However, it's important to recognise that AI isn't confined to Tech Giants. While these companies have certainly played a significant role in driving the development of AI, there’s numerous opportunities that extend beyond the traditional tech industry that can get overlooked.

Across many industries, AI offers advantages of new and innovative services, and the potential to improve scale, speed and accuracy. But where exactly can you deploy your AI expertise to make a tangible difference?

If you work in the world of AI, you may wish to consider sectors like government, healthcare, finance, or transportation. These industries are increasingly recognising the transformative potential of AI and are actively seeking talented individuals to drive innovation.

Within finance, AI plays a pivotal role in offering insights and support for accounting and investment tasks including the automation of mundane responsibilities. In transportation, AI is driving the innovation of self-driving vehicles and autonomous driving systems. Additionally, AI assists in real-time traffic management across city areas, improving efficiency and safety. Over the past decade, AI has also revolutionised patient care, diagnostics, and administrative operations within the healthcare sector.

"Within the HealthTech sector, the integration of Artificial Intelligence has developed as a standard practice, encouraging a substantial increase in the need for proficient developers to drive innovation." Piers Pavey, Associate Director at TurleyWay Senior Technology Recruitment

Imagine leveraging your AI skills to develop algorithms that detect diseases at an early stage, ultimately saving lives and improving healthcare outcomes. Or maybe you're drawn to the idea of optimising transport systems to reduce traffic congestion and carbon emissions, making cities more liveable and sustainable.

We’ve heard about how Russia and China are going to use AI to disrupt elections and disseminate fake news but if you're passionate about channelling AI for the greater good, consider exploring career opportunities in sectors beyond the traditional tech companies. Embrace the transformative power of AI industries such as healthcare and contribute to shaping a future where technology works hand in hand with medical professionals to enhance patient care and outcomes. Together, we can work towards a future where AI serves and is viewed as a catalyst for positive change.
