CIO, Monday, December 1st, 2025
AI is poised to reshape baseline skills for a successful career in IT. Reskilling to remain relevant - and to establish future IT role pipelines - will be paramount.
IT professionals reluctant to accept the impact AI will have on their careers might want to think again. According to a new study from the AI Workforce Consortium, the IT job market is undergoing an unprecedented transformation thanks to AI, and AI skills are becoming a core competency for IT pros.
The findings are based on analysis of job posting data from Cornerstone and Indeed, conducted by the Cisco-led consortium between July 2024 and June 2025 in G7 countries Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, and the US.
