The key to effectively using artificial intelligence is to know how to tailor prompts to yield the right results. This process is known as prompt engineering and is an important skill for all professionals to have. Studies show that over 80% of IT professionals think they can use AI, however, only 12% have the skills to perform AI prompt engineering correctly. Hiring managers are on the hunt for those with these skills, demonstrating the need for professional development to advance careers in many fields.
There is currently a 50% hiring gap between AI jobs and AI roles, which is why learning the ins and outs of AI matters now more than ever. Leaders across the world believe that these skill gaps must be urgently addressed to fuel the AI revolution. Fortunately, there are several different methods to prompt engineering, including chain-of-thought, chain-of-symbol, and least to most prompting. When working with images and video, there are even more options such as negative prompting, textual inversion, or prompt injection. Although the process may seem complex to learn and master, there are growing resources and certificate programs designed for reskilling, upskilling, and cross-skilling. No matter the industry, professionals can prepare for the demands of tomorrow with AI prompt engineering.
